PGM Daredevil #3 (how does torn off piece affect grade?) 0

[jharvey]

I bought this Daredevil #3 off Ebay. The seller put the comic into a semi-rigid, open ended, comic book bag, and then put tape over the open end. As you can see, the comic slid up during shipping, came in contact with the tape, and tore off part of the top edge of the front cover.

I think the comic was roughly 7.0 grade before the damage. How badly will the piece torn off of the top edge of the cover affect the grade? Needless to say, I'm very sad that this previously nice comic got ruined by a seller that doesn't know how to package comics. It was insured, so the insurance should cover the loss in value, but I'm still waiting for a final resolution.

IMO , 5.0-5.5. Press it and you'll bump it up grade.

What do you see that would press out?

Well, sorry that happened to this book

Good news is that based on the pics, I don't think the book was better than a 4.5/5.0 tops, and with the new damage I'd say it's a 3.0/3.5 tops.

Well, it's a good thing that I only ended up paying $30 for it after the insurance payout!

Back cover, left side. Looks like a stack of books was on top of the comic. Every little bit helps.

3.5/4

In case anybody was curious, I sent this to CGC without pressing, just to see what kind of grade it would get. 

It is a CGC 6.0 Universal grade
