tng123 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hi, Please advice on this. I have a few duplicates, and all of them have the same factory defect (cuts/tears) at the lower egde on the cover. I thought this one is the better ones but when i took the pictures and had a closer look at it, seem like this may be the worst, with plenty of factory defects. Cuts/Tears on both front and back cover, offset cover. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilo2 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Those tears at the bottom of the interior pages are quite common. and wont affect the overall grade of the book. From what I can see, I would put your book at a 9.6. I wouldn't wager a guess as to weather its a 9.8 candidate without having the book in my hands, but it might be. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Nilo2 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I've seen books with a cover offset grade out to a 9.8 before. These (cover offset & interior page feeder tears) are all manufacturing bindery defects which a believe are permissible up to 9.8. tng123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
