Will this receive a restored grade or be deemed incomplete and receive a lower Grade? Last page clipped at ink line. 1 1

[O Doyle Rules]

Not sure the reasoning behind why someone would have done this to the book. The last page was clipped across the top at the ink line. The only thing I can surmise is the owner wanted the title of the book to appear on the inside when it was open? - See pictures. Anyway my real question is will CGC either consider this restoration or deem it to be incomplete and recieve a lower grade? Clearly this was not the usually trim job in an attempt to improve the appearance of the book. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks to all who respond!

It won't be restored/purple label.  My best guess is that it will be factored into the grade, but they may choose to go qualified or at least offer you that option.

Yea, you're right it could likely be a qualfied grade. If they give it an universal label does it automatically make it a .05 or could it grade higher? It is a golden age comic.

Does it affect the story?

No it does not. It is just the white area above the panels at the top of the page.

Considering it's GA, I think it will be ignored, or close to ignored.

I don't believe that will get a .5. 

My guess is,  it will be factored into the grade,  but it's not as severe as a clipped coupon / missing page.

The current policy is that if it grades 3.5 or higher it will usually get a Qualified grade. If it's less than a 3.5, the missing piece will be factored into the grade based on the cumulative size of the piece. 

I hope this helps and good luck...

If it were my book, I'd give it a 0.5 technical grade but price it like a 3.0. making sure any potential buyer knew why.
