DELTA 62 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Hi all. I wanted to get your expertise about something I came across that I don't recall seeing before. If you look right above the staple, you can see multiple really tiny indentations. I am guessing that is a printing defect vs actual damage to the book (but I could be wrong). What do you all think? Is this something CGC would knock down in grade for? I was not sure where else to post this but I was hoping you all might have better knowledge / insight as to how CGC might grade something like this. Thanks everyone!

Mars76 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 It looks like a possible printing defect. In order for us to give you a grade we would need pictures of the front and back cover. DELTA 62 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it's a manufacturing defect. Not sure how hard cgc would ding you, probably depends on the grader. DELTA 62 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even then, I figured CGC would probably still knock the grade down for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
