Galen130 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 That's not how this thread works. We need more photos in order to give our estimate. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 @Galen130is right. A post like this is better suited for the Grading and Restoration Questions forum. But, on an otherwise perfect book, that writing (and I'd call it light and fairly inconspicuous), would probably drop it into the VF range. The writing medium will matter. Pencil < Pen < Grease Marker < Marker. It wouldn't matter at all in the FN range. You'll typically see more books with writing like this graded at 7.0-7.5. The writing appears to be in pencil. Here's an example of a high grade book with pencil writing on the cover. Overstreet will tell you a 4.0 is the best grade this book could receive. But CGC is different.

zzutak Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Any erasure marks and/or ink loss resulting from an attempt to remove cover writing will often be seen as a more serious defect than the original writing. So make like Paul McCartney and let it be! grendelbo, Ghastly542454 and Mojohand 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
