Hulksdaddy1 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Appreciate it guys. Figure do both here, not clutter up the place. Stain on back of ASM is what it is. Overall, both books are very sound, structurally. Have already C&P'd them. The stains on the back of the TOS are not from the staples. Not sure what it is, so any ideas on that would be welcome. I do believe I've seen similar on another copy. Edited July 20 by Hulksdaddy1 Kevin.J and Get Marwood & I 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stains on the back of your TOS are rust stains -- not from the staples of this book, but from the staples of the next book down in the stack.

Just wondering how much the staining hurts each. I feel like they might knock the ASM1 down to 3.5, and the TOS39 down to 4.0. CGC is "toight" right now with grading.

My (limited) experience, a lesser stain knocked a book that was clearly >9 otherwise all the way down to a 5.5. If they treat the rust from another book like an ink transfer, I can see it having less impact. I watched a CGC video recently that said ink rubs were treated more harshly that ink transfers, especially with older books where it was common for comics to be stack on top of on another without the benefit of bags/boards.

Sauce Dog Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 The ASM I would say is an easy 4.5. The TOS is a little harder to pin down as I've never encountered only external staple rust stains like that - but I'm thinking 5.0 is the lowest it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
