PGM ASM 129 2 2

[flying_bison]

After buying a big bunch of ASM books--836 issues (#20-856 to be precise) , and being too stupid to take every single key out of the bag, I got home and found that this one had a detached cover.  I'm a total insufficiently_thoughtful_person.  But here I am.  I imagine there is still some value here, but I am wondering what it would grade, how it would be dealt with at CGC, what my options are, etc.  I would especially love to hear from anyone who KNOWS from experience about detached covers rather than speculation.  So, if you are kind and generous to help, would appreciate any intel....or just a grade.

I don't have any detached staple books currently graded, but a top staple detachment sitting in Sarasota. From the feedback here and additional research, if the book is in high grade you can get a qualified label high grade w/note that the cover is detached. With a low grade book, you can get a universal label where the detachment is lumped in with the accumulation of major/minor defects leading to an overall grade. This book is in the latter category IMO, so a 3.0±0.5 Universal. If you go onto ebay and search "cgc detached" you can see examples of both types of detachment in listings and recent sales. Some books even with >9.0 Q with detachments. Currently, the highest graded is 5.5 Q of a Golden Age book. More than a few Universals from the silver/bronze/copper with <5.0.

3.0

I don't think it'd get a Qualified label.

Thanks for posting.

it is still a blue label 2.0 minimum , if it were submitted there would be notes on the CGC label about a detached cover
