How badly does a missing corner effect a mid grade book12722

Collector oakcitycomics private msg quote post Address this user
I recently picked up a ASM 50 at a good price. Debating on if should submit or not. The book has a subscription fold and a couple other folds along the top with some spine color breaks. This would be my first book submitting with portion of the cove missing. I know it wont get dinged as a incomplete due to the size but how much of a grade hit does a missing piece this size take in a book of this current grade condition?

Cover, 8 pages before the staples, 8 pages after, back cover. MrNotSoNice private msg quote post Address this user
I think this book is about a 3.0 without the missing corner. The missing corner drops it down to a 2.0 if the book is otherwise complete and readable.

It shouldn't be incomplete, I can say that much. I have a few old comics that have bigger missing chunks that were considered complete. But how it effects the grade precisely I'll leave to those more qualified






This got a 1.8 Grade when graded.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
I looked at several different pictures of sold ASM #50's and based on those I'd say a 2.0 to 3.0.

I agree with @flanders. I'd probably give it a 2.5. Overall the book looks pretty clean too.
