OtherEric Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The major concern is obviously the popped staple. I’m wondering if it’s worth risking a clean & press before submitting. I’m also thinking it may be better off trying for a qualified label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Is the cover completely detached from the sole staple, or is it just the front cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 4.0 Qualified 7.5 maybe. Thanks for posting. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 By the CGC guide, a detached staple can still get to 5.0. It looks to me like a decent sized piece of the cover tore off as a result though. I'd expect no better than a 4.5 as a best-case scenario OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
