Giant-Mike Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Hey all , Bought this online from a shop, arrived the other day. It’s basically new condition except for the top left corner bind. The shop said most copies of this issue have this defect or something similar and it wouldn’t affect the grade too much. Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts here on it. Also is it worth pressing a book like this that has almost card stock level thickness? Thanks!

MrRoboto Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 With that spine I would say 8.5 as it sits. Giant-Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant-Mike Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 thank you both! ya seems about right I think. Hard to really know with this harder stock paper they use for the covers what they consider defect or just wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gradejunky Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 What is wrong with the spine? From what I see is both spine side corners have a bindery chad from the simple fact that a thick cardstock gets folded, and much tension on the corners creates a pinch/tear. Well within the 9.8 range if there are only 1 or 2 more almost imperceptible flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
