I just want to know how bad a grade gets when you have gripper holes through half your comic pages and is worth to grade it?

It was a one trick pony show but always hilarious. GAC private msg quote post Address this user
my understanding is gripper holes do not impact grade.

yup..no impact...is part of the manufacturing process and most if not all the issues in that particular run will have them i.e. not something that happened after a person bought the book like folds, ceases, writing on covers etc. etc. etc.
