“Brown?” Spot On Book 2 2

[Cnight]

Hey folks

 

Looking for input from the community!  Any insight would be helpful.

 

So the attached pictures are from a book that CGC noted as “foxing”; but it looks more like tanning or staining to me.  What do you folks think it is?

Tanning or staining would work for me. Foxing usually has a more spotted appearance, in my experience. 

But whatever you call it, probably the same grade impact.

My exact thinking!  Foxing is usually NOWHERE that size; it’s more like freckles, at least in my (limited) experience.

Could be foxing, as it often can be confused with an oily stain. I have seen blotches of foxing the size of quarters on certain book. Could also be a stain which would be hit a little harder by CGC.

It's reasonable to confirm foxing.  I would rule out tanning.

That’s a BIG foxing spot 😱.  Surprised the book got an 8.0, but I’m definitely leaving that one alone 🤣.

 

I don’t like messing with foxing……..
