DR.X Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Going over this book this morning, I noticed on the inside front cover, top border, two small water spots/stains. They look worse in the pic, and are actually hard to see in hand. Book has great gloss and the feel of a new book. Light non breaking bends on the back cover.

RobHW Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Water stains are treated harshly. In this case, I'd expect an otherwise perfect book to get a 8.5/9.0 grade. Since other light/minor defects are visible, I think 7.5 is the highest I would expect. My strategy as a seller would be to fully disclose the defects, suggest the 7.5 grade, and price at the 6.0 price point. It will sell. And my conscience would be clear.

scburdet Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 6.0/6.5. Always anticipate a worse grade from CGC than you think when analyzing stains DR.X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless , they are there. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
