Small tears?

[murph0]

Anyone had a book graded by CGC with a small (1/8") tear on the back cover? I've never had one, and the book is otherwise flawless.. I got it cheap enough that I don't really care but I was curious as to what would happen if it was CGC'd since I need to use these coupons. :\

Got a real nice Savage Tales 1 with a similar tear on the front cover 1/4 way down to the right side. Without it I'm sure it's in a round an 8.5 - 9.0. Anybody know how the tear effects this one?

 

Sorry Murph0, maybe just a bit ?

 

But I was kinda wondering.

closest I have is a tiny chip off the back cover....was a silver age book and I got a 9.2...the rest was flawless....I sent it back for a regrade..should be back in a day or two.

Tears on the cover are more of a knock-off I'm sure b/c they more directly effect the best part of the book, the cover.

Had a hi-grade bronze Gh Rider #1 w/ natural bindery corner tear that was slabbed 9.0. Flawless black spine too.

I had Marvel Family 11 that was probably a 9.0 except for a 1/4" tear on the back cover... came back 8.5.

 

On silver, I have had a few books with tears that size and they don't really seem to affect the grade on 8.5-9.0, but you're looking at a good hit in 9.4 or better...

 

I wish I had kept the scan... but there was a 9.4 on eBay about 7 months ago with a full 1/4" tear on the back cover... the book was freaking gorgeous otherwise though...

Thanks for the info, just looking to make my money back on it. Seller didn't see the tear and gave me half the purchase price back.
