Just wondering if the staple tear is excessive for a 9.8

:eek: That's awful.

Slight staple looseness is common on this issue, but this is far beyond that.

Terrible. That is no longer a 9.8 . This looks like a 1st generation of the new holder which used pressure to hold the book in place. Look at the fanning on the bottom edge of the book. I believe what is happening here is the cover is 'sticking' to the front while the rest of the book is shifting down. Unfortunately, this will get worse if the book is stored vertically. I would store the book horizontally to alleviate the pressure from gravity. I would advise contacting CGC but you will probably lose the 9.8 grade. Sorry.
