Same grade but different page quality question 0

[finalfan7asy]

Sorry if this question has been answered before but I could not locate a topic about it. With that being said, does page quality affect grade or is it more like a bonus? For example, I found two CGC 9.2 graded books, one with off-white to white pages and the other with white pages. If it does alter the grade, does this technically mean the off-white page book is in slightly better condition than the white page book?

I don't believe Page Quality would come into play for a book in 9.2. It may come into play for the valuation. I am a White Page junkie and will always pay a premium for White.

Good to know. I'm particular about spine fold alignment. The book with white pages is slightly misaligned. The off-white book has what appears to be an ideal fold. Both books are about the same cost when you consider shipping fees and the website you buy it from, so I suppose it comes down to preference

We used to have old labels that said miscut but the second and third generation labels are not showing misfits anymore.
