MARK_BA Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 How much does a top staple detached from the cover lower the grade of a book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicdonna Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 It depends on the book. 4.0 no affect 9,0 substantial affect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK_BA Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 no photos, I was just wondering. It seem like if there is anything wrong with a corner, even the slightest bit, it automatically knocks you down to a 9.4, 9.2. range. I was wondering what they consider a top staple separated from the cover. Does that automatically kick you down to a 7 or 6 even? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 If you have an otherwise flawless book and it is a 9.2-9.4 but has a popped stapled, I think you could get a green certified label. But majority of collectors want the blue label. A popped staple in that case would bump to at least a 6.0 IMO. If you have a mid to lower grade book, the popped staple has less of an effect on the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
