Raze Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) There is water damage to the book. I think the waviness can be pressed out. but I don't know how to deal with the tear on the last page that has tape. Also the centerfold is attached but has a weird tear. Please help...

KCOComics Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'm going to go 2.0 It looks better than that, it should grade higher than that, but I'm learning that water damage is pretty tough on grading. I'm also struggling with the deduction for tape. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Seeing a lot of taped books lately. Can’t wait to see how CGC grades them. 3.5/4.0...IMO. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raze Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 @KCOComics the tape throws me off as well. But I think a press will remove most of the water damage. If Im wrong about the water damage being removed please chine in. Ive only heard that it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeypost Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Pressing will removed waviness and puckering from water damage, not any tide lines or stains. CGC will grade the tape as if it wasn’t there. It will grade the book as if it had a large tear on the back cover with no tape. Raze and KCOComics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
