Jay Company books and grading?

Hi!

 

I asked myself, if it's possible to grade books from Jay Company. I searched for some at the Census, but I couldn't found one.

 

Fact is, that they are a little bit larger than the normal ones... I think ca. 3-4 millimetres on each side. This is because, they have an extra binder/cover/binding (don't know the exact translation) from JayCo.

 

If this is a problem - what can I do? Should I cut this extra cover with a scalpel or something like this? :whistle:(shrug);)

 

Thanks!

M

The Jay Company books with the larger outer cover cannot be graded as they cannot be safely encapsulated. If submitted they will be returned ungraded and your account will be credited. If you were to alter the condition of the book (i.e. cut the outer cover) the book would be considered restored and would be graded and noted as such.

There are some versions of the Jay Company variants that do not have the larger outer covers, but just an outer wrap that is the same size of the comic. In these cases we are able to grade and safely encapsulate the books. If you are considering submitting Jay Company editions you would want to first check which type of cover was used to determine if they can be graded.
