JRibble Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Hi and thank you for your opinion on this book. Has some inside cover tanning but the main question is in regards to the cut out on the last page of the book and how that affects the grade. There is some waviness on the back cover near Mike Marvel as well. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 my opinion is its in too low of a grade to get a qualified, so it will probably just be marked down to like a 1.0 for a piece missing that does not affect story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 The heavy tanning, creasing and edge defects drop this below where a qualified label is necessary. That much is correct. According to the CGC Guide, a missing non-story coupon or panel results in the following grades 6.0 (1"×1") to 0.5 (6"×6"). Eyeballing it, this looks about 4"×2", so closer to area to the upper than the lower end. With this in mind, I don't think the missing coupon "counts". IMO this would grade around 3.0 without the clipping, so it should stay around that number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
