First rule of CGC submission: don't submit books with any kind of color fade, no matter how minor (it was so minor on this book, no one here even mentioned it). I'm sure that killed this book. I'm also sure the "light creasing to cover" was incorrectly attributed to the printers creases on the front and back.Those aren't suppose to count against the book, but as far as I can tell from the video, there were no other creases or bends to the cover.

Grade: 7.5 White Pages

Notes: light bends to cover, light creasing to cover, light fade to cover, light spine stress lines to cover

usually, I find "light creasing to cover" appears to refer to the small crease along the spine. With the slight miswrap, it's hard to see what's going on along the spine. It doesn't take much to score light creasing.

Not sure I agree with that. Why the other note of "light spine stress lines to cover". That seems to cover "creasing" along the spine (there don't appear to be any color breakers). Still convinced it was the printers creases that (incorrectly) caught their "eyre".
