And when I say a little less, I think it’ll sell in the lower range of what other similarly graded FF48’s go for. Any idea what grade it might get from CGC?

You should post this in the “can you spare a grade” forum, with a few more photos. Krismusic and The Lions Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heronext Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) If you are stuck with the book, don’t worry about it. If you don’t like it, auction it off on eBay as a raw. You probably get close to what it’s worth without the “defect”. Then buy another copy you like better. The notation that they’ll put on the CGC label will be more annoying than the missing staple itself. I wouldn’t slab it whether you end up keeping it or not.

The Lions Den Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 14 hours ago, migmtl76 said: Thanks for your opinion. May I ask what grade and page color would you give it? 5.0 Cream to Off White ? You're welcome. Is that a stain on the bottom of the spine or just a trick of the light? That will certainly make a difference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top of the cover has some chipping From what I can tell, it still has a decent look to it. I could see 5.5 on this. Tough to say the page quality, but either Cream to Off-White or Off-White seem OK... Edited December 9, 2019 by The Lions Den migmtl76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorne Malvo Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I have a ASM 46 in a 9.4 with no top staple. My universal blue label does not indicate a missing top staple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
