I’ve seen 3.0s with hole punches that look way worse calling in question CGCs consistency when grading. If I were more of a collector than I am I'd snap up under-graded hole punched books. I am not surprised there is so much inconsistency in grading. It is a huge defect to some and minor to others... it might take a while for standards to appear. Personally, I think they are cool in an old book that is otherwise in awesome shape. In that case, the punches are WHY it is in awesome shape. It lived in a binder for 70 or 80 years. How cool is that? I think hole-punched books are a great opportunity... But I mostly buy books to read and to stare at art up close so I'll watch from here instead of loading up. *paull* and Hiro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the 80s a guy walked in to my LCS (this is someone the owner had never seen before or since) with 15 to 18 golden age books that all had binder holes. I bought this one. Notice only 1 staple. Got to save those materials. There's a war on. I think I paid $40.00. Which was a lot for a starving college student. Looks like this is one of the rarer ones, now I started looking through my garage for my comics collection and this part I can't find, looks like I lost or sold it :(( I also understand you so well, I have now become a student and I understand how hard it is, because I have no time left to work, and my parents offer me money just so I don't starve, now I am looking for how I could improve the situation and I found this good source https://paperell.net/research-papers-for-sale, where is cheap research papers for sale, this really helps me a lot and I manage besides college and homework to work, but I am sure there are more such sources and if you know them, have used personally please reply me here, thanks in advance.
