Conacon Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 What does a detached centerfold do to the grade of a comic? If the outside is looking like a 3.5 to 4.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Opinions vary on this, but in my experience a detached centerfold in that grade range wouldn't significantly affect the grade. Just be sure to check it closely to confirm that it belongs with that particular book...

William-James88 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Depends entirely on if the centrefold was initially attached or not. Don't know how CGC would grade it but under the conventional grading guide, here is the outcome for the two scenarios: If the centrefold was manufactured as loose (so never attached) it will not lower the grade of your 3.5-4.5 book. If the centrefold was once attached and has since become detached (so ripped off) then your book would be a 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that uncommon on books pre bronze age. The Lions Den 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
