Super duper Low Grade Grading 0

[ksalvini]

Hi, new here and still pretty new at comic collecting.  I may get a book that has no cover, missing stamp, missing a page and the staples are taken out.

Would that be graded a 0.1, 0.3 or 0.5?  or something else?

 

Thank you!

There is no "0.1" or "0.3" CGC grade.

It would likely get an NG for being so incomplete.

Thank god, the word balloons are still there. 

Just kidding. I was surprised to see a slabbed book with staples removed get a 2.0.  The missing staples are probably not too big a negative to knock it down to NG and will be treated as another missing part. The missing stamp does not affect the story I assume. Your book might grade to a 0.5.

0.1 and 0.3 do exist in the Overstreet Grading Guide, but as @TwoPiece noted above CGC does not issue those grade numbers. 

With no cover you'd get a "NG", which CGC describes as:

Quote

NG – This label stands for "No Grade" and is assigned to comics that are either missing the entire cover, or one half or more of the interior pages, or both. It may also be assigned to comics that are only being verified as authentic, per CGC's discretion.

Ah, you are correct. Coverless gets an automatic NG.
