Cnight Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Hey folks! Back with another one for you; found a 9.6 ASM that I’m looking at buying, but found this one odd defect near the binding. It looks like a legit tear; not a binding or manufacturing defect, but a legit tear from whatever. Anyone think this is an binding or manufacturing defect, or do you think it’s just a tear? Personally: I think it’s a tear, and I’m a bit put off about it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cnight Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Yea; that’s about my feelings too. If enough folks can come to the same idea of “not sure”; then CGC would have a statistically viable shot at letting it slide as a bindery defect. This is a CFP resubmit candidate for me btw.

Artboy99 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) manufacturing defect or not I wouldn't want a CGC 9.6 copy of a book with this. Trust your gut, you felt the need to post on the boards regarding it, that says you don't like it. Suggest looking for another copy.

Cnight Posted June 12, 2023 Author Share Posted June 12, 2023 Yea; I’m thinking I’m better off letting this one sit. Trying to find one last candidate to put on the list of books before I send them out to Joey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypost Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Is the paper just folded over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnight Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share Posted June 14, 2023 Looks to be that way; looks like a bindery tear where the paper has folded over. I can ask the seller to provide a picture from an angle to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
