gadzukes Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 From the front.... not too bad. Everything is snug & solid at the staples. Nice inner pages. But.... there's a piece out of the back cover. What grade will this be able to pull out? Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Edge/Corner wear with creasing and color breaks, moderate spine stress w/color breaks, slight staple tears, creasing, color rub and color break through the interior of the front cover, large piece missing from rear cover. Without the piece missing I would have assigned a grade of VG 4.0 - VG+ 4.5, with the missing piece? I have no idea how much of a deduction the book will take from CGC, IMO it will drop to at least a GD- 1.8 to GD 2.0. According to the grading standards a large piece missing from the rear cover is not allowed until you drop to a FR/GD 1.5, this is what is allowed. 1.5 FAIR/GOOD (FR/GD): up to 1/10 of the back cover may be missing. 2.0 GOOD (GD): The largest piece allowed missing from the front or back cover is usually a 1/2" triangle or a 1/4" square, 3.0 GOOD/VERY GOOD (GD/VG): A triangle from 1/4" to 1/2" can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" to 1/4" square is also acceptable. 4.0 VERY GOOD (VG): As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable.

Bayowolf Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yeah that huge piece out does it in. 1.5 to 2.0 at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 1.5 minimum (see Round 2 of the grading contest). More likely 2.0. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
