9.4 with chip out ? Is this possible?

[bobpfef]

I found this looking through the new Heritage offering. This can't be right can it, how can a 9.4 have a chip like that out? This isn't even questionable, there must be a labeling mistake or the book was damaged after it was graded?

9.4 with chip out of cover

Looks like damage after it was graded

Thanks for the "heads up", now I can get it back from Heritage.

I figured it must be something like that. It must have snagged at some point in the encapsulating process

How do you think it happened? Where is the missing piece because I didnt see.

Ill go back and look again.

and if you blow it up real big you'll see that it looks like it might be losing a bigger piece shortly......................

CGC has to get better at not damaging books either during encapsulation or preventing it afterwards. This is becoming all too often an occurance. One book falling victim to the slab is one too many...

That's post-slabbing?

 

Good grief. From a 9.4 to a.....?

Ill be the arsehole that asks:

How did it happen in the first place?

[THE_BEYONDER]

At least it wasn't one of the highest graded Dell file copies from 1949 that got ruined.

 

Oh wait....it was.

 

[Pirate]

how does the slab cause that type of rip? thats no SCS nor is it a 9.4. Paging the king for a grade, paging the king.

 

maybe that was where the grader was holding it and his thumb covered the hole

You know, that kind of chipping seems to be indicative of Brittle pages.

[CKB]

Hey, with or without the chip, it's overall the best copy extant of that book, no?

 

The chip just makes it cheaper!

[Timulty]

If it goes out as low, as I think it will, then it will not even be close to top census.

[joe_collector]

So, where is the actual chip?

Yep...and with cream pages, I suspect the old cover was indeed a bit brittle.

Married?

I think that this is the key question. Is it on the backside of the book?

The other major question is:

How did this happen and how can it be prevented from ruining another book again.

It is great that Steve is buying the book back (if i understand correctly). However, this book is now in nowhere near the shape it was in and it seems as though somehow CGC and or their product is to blame. They should not have to be buying the book back in the first place.

Didn't someone on here tell an interesting story about sending a NM comic to CGC and getting back a CGC 5.0-6.0 with a boot print on the back cover?

never mind. you mean the piece that fell off...i'd guess between the cover and the microchamber paper
