scburdet Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 My read of the CGC guide is that the staple rust won't drop you below the detachment ceiling (unless my memory is bad b/c I don't have the book in front of me). Also, the crease just off the spine is probably the level-setter anyway, as it goes almost the full length of the book. 5.0/5.5. I think the detachment & rust are acceptable at that grade.

I wish I'd had mine back when you put this up, I'd have had you take photos of page 3. I've seen a description of what it is, but it didn't quite make sense to me why it would have been removed. Mine has a nice smudgy stain thing on the back or it would probably have gotten closer to a 7.0Q https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/4271699006/ Edited August 17, 2023 by scburdet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
