NumminzAK Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited June 5, 2022 by NumminzAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post joeypost Posted June 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2022 That would be a major deduction. Like a bad tear major. kav, greggy, Larryw7 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Five Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterymachine Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) I would assume a two-point drop. If it happens to grade 8.5 , break out a beer and celebrate. Edited June 5, 2022 by mysterymachine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the highest possible would be a 7.0 but could be lower. mysterymachine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
