Moea3 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Hope this is the right spot to ask. Silver surfer black 4 peach variant, the color rub is only on the back. How much will this bring down grading?? Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 In my world that would keep it to the 8.5 mark, or thereabouts but why not post in the Buddy Can You Spare a Grade forum? More pics would be needed though. Front, back and any close ups. Scans are reckoned better than photos if possible. Moea3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moea3 Posted September 5, 2022 Author Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Thanks, I'll get more pics and move the post there. Also was asking how it would affect the grade and the process, not necessarily looking for a grade of the book. That's why I wasn't sure if this would be the right place.

joeypost Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 CGC has been hitting this hard. Even slight rub is bringing books down 2-3 grades. Moea3, The Lions Den and sergex23 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokiing Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) I had a nice looking Ronin 6 come back a 9.2 with "moderate scuffing to cover".... along the spine on back. Sorry, no pics since it is at CGC for the third time with either debris or Newton Rings, or both... trying to get it fixed since January 2022.

Wow that's terrible, seen a few with a piece of hair encased also. Hope you get it resolved this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafan Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 The range I've seen is 8.0 to 9.6. 8.0 if the color rub is in lengthy streaks and noticeably more than a few spots along spine on the front and back cover. 9.6 if it's only 1-2 small spots near the back cover staples. That book, if the grader takes notice of it, would probably fall in the 9.2/9.4 range if it is otherwise perfect. That color rub flaw is prevalent on books from that era and I've seen CGC give a pass to some with similar scuffing but to a lesser noticeable degree considering it as a production defect similar to the bindery tears on the oversized issues. Still, for any raw moderns I'm looking to get graded I always check for ink/color rub/scuffing on back covers before buying. When buying these books already graded in 9.8, you should also check the back cover as some did slip through in 9.8.
