cmevans Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I have a silver age book with a detached centerfold that is good shape and all other pages are intact and in good shape I looked at your chat boards and there are lots of discussions on this but I wanted to ask cgc I looked in your cgc guide but it wasnt to clear only thing I found was staple removed, so my question is if the book was a 9.8 would it drop all the way down to a 3.5 grade or if the book was a 7.0 would it drop that far also does the rest of the condition of the book not matter?

Administrator AllisonC CS Posted September 11 Administrator Share Posted September 11 Hi @cmevans, Thank you for reaching out to us. A detached centerfold maxes out at 7.0. If tape is used to reattach it, it could lower the grade slightly, depending on the amount of tape. If the book is 6.5 or higher other than the detached centerfold, we advise that you should NOT tape it, but just tuck the centerfold in loose. If the book is lower than 6.5 otherwise, the tape will likely not matter. The grader that I spoke to stated that they would advise not to bother taping it back in. Just tuck the centerfold in and send it as is. Tape is not going to raise the grade, but it could lower it. We cannot guarantee the grade that you receive. The decision will be made once the team is able to review the overall condition of the book. Please let us know if you have any concerns. Thank you!

cmevans Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 Thank you for the response, one more question if they grade the book and determine it was a 6.5 even with the detach centerfold can I still have the blue label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator AllisonC CS Posted September 13 Administrator Share Posted September 13 Hi @cmevans, You should still receive the blue label for this collectible as the detached centerfold maxes out at 7.0. We would not be able to guarantee that you will receive the blue label until we receive and examine the collectible. I hope that helps! Thank you!
