How does THIS (pix inside) affect grade?

[dc360]

It's a production error where the corner was obviously folded over when the book was cut, so the last two pages of the bottom left back corner are folded over and if they were to be unfolded, wouldn't sync up with the book properly (in the 3rd pic you can see it best).

 

Opinions? Can my book still be NM?

Maybe if you didn't open up the fold. Now you've damaged the paper.

[dc360]

I was very careful. At least I didn't scan it.

I don't think this defect would prevent the book from grading out as a 9.4. I think that is the limit though.

Don't have any experience submitting a book with this kind of production flaw, but I have seen CGC hit other kinds of production flaws. Small bindery tears and printers creases on the cover can be enough to keep a book from 9.4, and I expect the same for this "extra paper" flaw as well, particularly coupled with the creasing.

looks to me like a great example of a book destined for a green slab.

 

that soiling on the BC at the line of the fold needs some cleaning

Trim it.

I have a couple of books that have an piece that was folded but cut square with the rest of the book. If unfolded it sticks out of the book.

 

I guess that is the definition of an "overhang"

[Ze-man]

Does the BC now have an indent where the interior fold lies underneath?

 

It is visible in the photo. Correct?

 

And it is weird that the top page of the folded two pages is cut yet the underneath page is not.

 

Weird

No indent, just a light soiling line.

[OldGuy]

That's an "eBay 9.8" right there!

[the blob]

press that baby out!

Just have to ask: What's the book? Looks like early Bronze Marvel from the back page ad...
