ComicSpa Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Book has color breaking ticks, blunting, scratches, and staining. Inside looks great! Let me know everyone. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Zipper Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Books that overall appear to be high grade, but have one prevailing defect like a stain are always the toughest to grade IMO. Does the grade drop to a certain level simply because it has a moderate stain, or do you start at the grade without the stain and deduct from there? I suspect it's the latter. Assuming it's around 9.0-9.2 without the stain, I'd knock off a point or so and call it a 7.5/8.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Faison Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I also think this book would be in the low 9.0's without the stain. CGC HATES stains, so this would probably be around 8.0. If you're comfortable with a little peroxide/blue light treatment, those stains could easily be knocked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
