EC Phanatic Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Detached cover I have a book I want to get graded that has a detached cover . Is there anything I can do to get the cover attached without being restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadwick Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Nope and unless it has more damage it would max at 3.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjpb Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Technically, using non-archival tape on the inside of the cover to secure the staples after they are pushed back through will get a blue label from CGC, and not count as restoration. It may also up the grade. It probably shouldn't be that way, but it is. If I recall, books that are really pretty otherwise can get a 4.0 with a detached cover, or an even higher qualified grade.

PhilipB2k17 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I am eying an otherwise nice looking early 40's Golden Age superhero book that is not from Timely or National. It looks like it is intact except for spine separation for some of the interior from the cover. What would be the max grade on this book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
