Snowdon Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) How many grade points do tears bring down the grade? Tiny tear on top where it is not fold completely. Edited November 19, 2022 by Snowdon Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 8.0 therabouts. The tear looks to be a 1/4" or so. On an otherwise perfect book that defect would knock it down to a 9.0/9.2. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope a 1/4” tear through the whole book isn’t getting an 8.0 Edited September 4, 2022 by THE_BEYONDER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Tough one...modern book, tear appears to go through all of it. Personally, I hit those hard and would call it 7.0-7.5 if I had it raw and was trying to sell it. CGC might be nicer, I really don't know. They certainly won't be meaner than my grade though.

Snowdon Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 GRADE IS IN: I think this one can hit a 9.0 if I send it back but whatever, there was some reversion on 1 spine tick grendelbo and Galen130 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
