Misaligned Staples Interior 0

[Funky Monkey Comics]

Hi all, I saw this book not too long ago. The staples look a little off, it’s a silver age book. How would this affect the grade?

As long as they're the original staples, it shouldn't affect the grade or the label at all...

I have a similar question to this.

I just got a book and found on one page, the top portion of the page came loose from the staple. The bottom of the page is still attached to the bottom staple.

I'm just wondering how much this will affect the overall grade/condition of the book. 

Thanks!

I don't think your question can be answered without seeing the book. It depends on the overall grade of the book, ignoring the staple problem. The higher the grade, the higher the effect on the grade. A 9.6 may become a 9.0 but a 5.0 may have little to no affect. If you bought this book raw, I would not be happy.

CGC will give you a qualified grade.

If the cover is detached at a staple, you are correct that CGC will give you a Qualified grade. However, the owner implied it's only detcahed on an inner page. If that is true, I think it will just take a grade hit. I believe I once submitted a book to CGC where the center page was detached at one staple. I think it just took a grade hit .

Not always true that you will get a Qualified case. I have a Universal CGC 6.5 with the cover completely detached at the top staple.
