Reyhann Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) So I recently bought this Nova #1 first app of nova for a great deal of just 75 dollars and read that it has a label saying “3 staples added” The book is a really clean copy (looks like a 9.0 or higher) except that it has the staples. Would it be a good idea to break the case, take out the staples and CGC it or would leaving it in its case be the best solution? (It still has the original staples so its not restored) What grade would it get if i were to remove the staples and CGC based on the photo below?

scburdet Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Leave it. If you take the added staples out, there will still be staple holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Take them out. The grade will unlikely change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 (edited) Leave it. You risk further damage removing the three staples. And yes, as Scburdet said, you'll end up with staples holes. Edited August 12, 2022 by PovertyRow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
