How much does accidental tape pull affect grade?

I have two near perfect 9.8 books that unfortunately fell victim to some previous tape pulls on the back covers at some point. The “fuzzy” left over sections of back cover are maybe 3/4- 1 inch square…but otherwise the books are perfect. Do you think even a 9.0 would be possible with that much pull damage? The books are an Omega men 3 ( 1st lobo) and a Ghostrider 1 1990 volume.

I'm not sure, but I think almost as much as a deliberate one.

Beat me to it :insane:

Yep. I mean, would you be happy buying a 9.0 that had a patch of ink loss? It definitely ‘feels’ right to me that the book would drop to a midgrade.

Nope, a 9.0 would not be possible. You literally removed a part of the book. I think the highest possible would be a 7.0 but could be lower.
