P Palmer Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Does CGC grade against perforation tears in older comics? Looking for some feedback on a Thor comic I purchased on. It sure if I should encapsulated due to small holes on serval pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Those are gripper holes, a manufacturing defect. Most manufacturing defects don't downgrade your comic. If you go to the top right of this page and type "gripper holes" into the search box (with the quotes), you will find more threads about that particular issue.

Axe Elf Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 That's the cool thing about slabbing books now; once you encapsulate a book, certain interior defects don't exist any more! P Palmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 No, it is still eligible to receive a 9.8 (maximum). P Palmer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
