Spine split affecting the grade
1 1

6 posts in this topic

CGC would grade it based on the split BEFORE the tape was added. The book may present well, but a spine split that large would drop the book down multiple grades. 

Is this another of your friends books?

based on my own experience, I think a split that large would drop the book to around a 3.0 at best since the book I have with a split graded as a 6.5.

It is in wonderful condition but has a spine split at the bottom of the book. The split isn't 1/2" in size.

You are correct sir. The comic was apparently taken out of a slab. It was a 3.5 grade !
