solitude Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Is the grade affected greatly for a book that comes from the factory but missing one of the staples usually the top one for me..but still is in perfect condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W16227 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Nope - if the staple is missing no holes in pages or cover. A CGC graded book will place a note on the cover - but not ding the grade. If there are holes in the book where a staple would be - this is a big hit to the grade as it is a missing/removed staple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct. I think that it would only affect 9.9s and 10.0s if it was a manufacturing error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
