Nschenks Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Another really tough book in high grade. This one is already at CGC (grade should come back any day now), so I apologize for the photos--which were just the ones I took before sending it off--not being the best. That said, I figured it couldn't hurt to see what y'all think before I get it back (if just as a little test!). One small CB tick on the front cover, a few rough cut edges, and a little non-CB creasing and soiling on the back (this one did get a C&P, so that should take of a lot of the latter). The ink on the BLBC is a stacking transfer very common to this book. This one is on the heavier side, but I've seen a lot of copies with it being much worse. Biggest issue, though, and the reason I'm posting this, is there is a tiny bit of rust on the bottom staple. It's pretty subtle, as I only noticed it on the back and when looking very closely under light, but it's definitely there. Tough to get a picture of. Curious how much this will affect the grade. There's no migration (more like a couple of specks on the staple only visible from the back), and the staple is clean on the inside of the book. Thanks for looking!

scburdet Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 9.4 train assuming that little bit of ink on the back doesn't get dinged for a stupid reason Nschenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahsoka Tano Jedi Apprentice Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 How do you argue with a 9.4 ....might it come in higher ....might it come in lower ....one would hope for at least that. Nschenks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
