androolx Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Please grade my TOD 10. The most glaring defect is the rusty staples with some migration. The diagonal bend on the lower LH side of the FC has a few spots where color barely breaks. There is also that tear on the bottom edge of the BC. Thank you.

Funnybooks Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) 5.5 structurally the books looks fine but the rust on staples an migration hurts the book press and clean (back cover) will help Edited August 28, 2020 by Funnybooks androolx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 4.5 I want to go higher and it certaintly looks in the F range, but CGC has been pretty tough on rusty staples in my experience. androolx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 A press for the back cover especially might help. 5.0 with press...IMO. androolx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CGC has been very consistent over the long haul in evaluating the effect of rust on the overall grade. I just see an accumulation of the type of flaws on this book, a Bronze age book at that, that will impact the overall grade to a slightly further degree than if a Silver or Golden age book. Taking into consideration the rust and partially opened staple, I don't see more than a 4.5 without some serious intervention that at best, might raise the bar to 5.0, maybe 5.5 if tremendously lucky, depending upon favorable outcome.
