NP_Gresham Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The staple tear looks like production. They often look rough in a close up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its cgc graded 9.8 Maybe production but production or not, I would not like it as a 9.8. That is a flaw that can get worse in the slab over time, especially if the book is shipped again. If the book seems 'loose' in the inner well, it may be post slabbing. Sometimes the cover 'sticks', static electricity ? So the book moves around a little but the cover stays resulting in stress and maybe tears at the staple. I've seen it happen on my own book before. Whatever you do, don't remove it from the slab. It's a 9.8 because the label says so, otherwise it is not. If it bothers you, sell it. MustEatBrains 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned above, if it was deemed production, the flaw would be ignored. My point, production or not, the flaw is still there and the book is not a 9.8 .
