Does CBCS consider a missing coupon as incomplete 0.5 grade like CGC? I looked online and the online and could not find a differentiate answer. Looking at CBCS 0.5 graded books on ebay they all have missing pages? This is a Marvel Value Stamp that's been cut but it does not effect the story.

I believe only the grade takes a hit and is noted. This may be case by case though. Clipping could affect the story.

It will probably list it as incomplete, but like HulkSmash said, it only affects the grade a bit (not like a missing page).

I like this way better. No point sending in a book just to get an automatic 0.5. It's better to get the grade on the rest of the book. Otherwise a cut coupon would cause a book with water and fire damage to grade the same as a NM copy, even if both were missing the coupon.

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
Then there are these that would otherwise be 9.6 or 9.8.

@Scifinator I suppose that’s a good point that wasn’t addressed in the original post. Is the coupon part of the actual book, or an insert like with the Valiant books from the early ‘90s? If you’re cutting something out of a page, you’re likely to get a legit incomplete with a muuuuuuch lower grade.

Yeah, I’d think a book with a missing MVS would be treated much differently than a book missing Tattooz.

Look for nice looking hulk 180-181 or other known MVS books. But they must be CBCS and NICE.

I've already looked for CBCS books missing MVS with no luck. I can only find books that are missing pages or say effects story. So they dont help with answer the question

Here is the grading scale from CBCS’ website.

While coupons are only specifically mentioned in the 1.5-1.0 range, higher grades mention pieces missing from the cover and/or interiors

Coupons cut make a book incomplete and SHOULD be automatic below 2.0; but in today’s crazy world, seems to be allowed in up to 4.0...

@steveinthecity I have a Hulk 181 with the stamp cut. The rest of the book is probably around a 5 give or take. Probably will eventually send it in but always wonder what it will end up being.
