I recently received, via ebay purchase, a 9.8 comic book. Before I took off plastic bag over the case, I noticed a dog-ear on the bottom left corner (photos 1,2 and 4), slight damage on top left corner (photo 3) and what appears to be a piece of dust on the back cover (photo 5). It appears as if a piece of the comic fell off and is in the cover. I researched the topic but didn't have any luck determining if CBCS would grade a 9.8 to a book with a dog-ear. Any feedback would be greatly appreicated. All comments welcome including if I'm being too picky.     |

| It's a bindery tear. They are allowed in 9.8. | ||

| This is a fairly common occurrence with thicker books, and is allowed. | ||

| Actually, according to Overstreet grading guide, 9.8: BINDERY DEFECTS - Only subtle bindery or printing defects are allowed. No bindery tears. Don't shoot the messenger. Nuff said. |

I don't think dog ear means what you think it means |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

Quote:Originally Posted by drchaos This, a couple of thick-format publications over the last two years essentially had no copies without bindery tear. Overstreet is not the standard used by CBCS and CGC for 9.8. Oh, but, I've actually sold a 9.8 with a slight bindery tear before and I put it in the description of the sale, indicating I did not assign the grade, but it passed a 9.8 with what I considered a major flaw. Standard caveat in the description about not being responsible for the grade the 3rd party assigned it. |

| @Etapi65, Thanks for clarifying Overstreet not used by CBCS or CGC. However, just my opinion, but if all copies of a particular comic have bindery tears then that comic should simply not have a grade that is borderline Mint. Just my 2 cents. Can I trouble you to share CBCS standards for grading a 9.8? Thanks. Nuff said. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Doc_Cop I don't disagree with anything you said. I would never buy a 9.8 with a bindery tear and believe I got a 9.8. I was merely pointing out that Overstreet is not the basis of grading for the grading companies. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Doc_Cop I think they are treated more as printing defects and disregarded, at least by the cgc. I'm not sure about CBCS. |

| Each bindery tear, if not too large is only 0.1 deduction. Hard to see how big they really are with such magnification. Piece of dust, or whatever that is, is irrelevant. | ||

| I just understand it as a simple business decision Grading companies dropping grade for a consistent defect on a specific issue = less of that issue being submitted for grading and less $ value for said grading .. Ignoring the defect let's paying speculators send in their not so mint books with a chance of still getting a 9.8 intact . |
