But, this is a thread in a forum about grading, not preferring. It seems that CGC would esteem the ugly distributor overspray on the front cover a couple of grades higher than the unobtrusive water stain on the back cover. Back cover defects should reduce a books grade less than front cover defects. Unfortunately, that's just my insignificant opinion, and CGC treats them as equal grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axe Elf Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Welp, according to this CGC video, small rust stains can appear on a book graded as high as 9.2 (around the 2:00 mark)! So I dunno... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funnybooks Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 i think at least 7.0 with an outside chance at 7.5 even with stain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
