Phrawst Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Wanted to send this in for the Campbell signing. Buuuut I'm thinking I take a massive grade hit (even though it's obviously not a 9.6 despite label) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only paid $100 CAD so I'm not salty in that regard. Just not sure what to do with it now. I can't sell it as a 9.6 so should I just send it to the signing and resign myself to whatever it comes back as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scburdet Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 splits are on CGCs no-no list. It doesn't take much. Stains too. A small spot on the back cover can be grounds for 2-3 grades below how the book appears. In general, the fees for their in-house are high enough that you either need a really solid book, or a desire to own something regardless of the grade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cover is very up there for me for Campbell. It's obviously no longer a 9.6 so is there any point pretending it's one in that slab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I don't think so. It seems to me like it was damaged during encapsulation or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
