Mdrguy101 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 DD 2 in overall nice shape, but with chipping top and bottom right of cover. What affect will this have on grade? Thanks! Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Even though Marvel Chipping is a Bindery Defect there is no black and white answer as to how much of a grade deduction a book will recieve with Marvel Chipping, it will depend on the severity of the chipping and the overall condition of the book. I just saw a pic of an AF 15 that had the beginnings of Marvel Chipping with small tears on the outer edge but no real pieces missing, this book received a VF 8.0. Looking at your book I feel it is in the FN/VF 7.0 range even with the water stain on the rear cover (which I heard CGC is very strict on) so with the stain and chipping, my best educated guess without knowing how CGC actually determines grades would be anywhere from a VG/FN 5.0 - FN 6.0.

zzutak Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I don't believe this would be considered Marvel chipping. The shape of the missing pieces is unlike any example of true Marvel chipping I've ever seen. But you be the judge: In the eyes of CGC, the moisture stain may be as significant a defect as the missing pieces. In order to define its extent, I'd want to inspect (1) the inside front cover & first page and (2) the inside back cover and last page. If the moisture stain is limited to the back cover, I think you're looking at a maximum grade of 4.0 VG. One man's opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCode98 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Looks fishy...Sharp edges all over and random missing chunks. Doesn't seem like Marvel chipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Not all chipping…IMO. But who knows what CGC will say… 5.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
