The detached staple was in the notes

It’s been awhile but I finally decided to send it in.

The cover and first 2 wraps are detached at the bottom staple. There’s no other hidden defects. Centerfolds good. I’m thinking this is a 4. The overstreet guide allows a cover being detached at 1 staple at a grade of 3.5. I’m not sure how the other 2 wraps factor into that. Also the grades are based on an accumulation of defects so I’m thinking that the lack of other defects at that grade will bring it up to a 4. I sent it in last week mainly so I could see how badly this staple effects the grade. I’m prepared for a 3 but hopeful for a 4. Either way I’ll have an answer in a few months. In the mean time I was wondering what everyone else’s thoughts were on this. I’ll post the grade once I get it back. thanks in advance.

No just sent it in as is. You mentioned it might not help that much and I had zero experience with any of this so I just sent it in under the value category and waited a long 5 months. I was shocked and pleased with the 3. I was think 2-2.5 with the spine split and all the creases.

Maybe having the cover and centerfold still attached with both staples helped off set the creases. Or maybe they felt bad about making me wait 4&1/2 months I don’t know. Either way I’m not complaining. That Hulk #2 is a nice book you got there.

I was crossing my fingers for a 2.0 with that piece missing from the cover. Very happy with the 2.5.

I sent it off to CGC back in July and finally got the grade for it today. It’s a 2.5. I’ll post a pic when I get it in the mail.
