| If the guys across the street grade a book with a 2.0 Blue Label that the grader notes clearly state "has a small missing piece on the centerfold that affects the backup story", how would you all feel about having that book in your collection? And even more so, what if that book was a very expensive, hard to find, even harder to afford, Silver Age key with the first appearance of a major character? And let's say it's one of the toughest Marvel Silver Age books to obtain in any grade in today's market. Would that missing piece keep you from buying it if it still holds a Blue Label? | ||

| I might get it as a "placeholder" but the fact it affects part of a story would prolly bother me. | ||

| I never knowingly buy books with pieces missing. So, in this case, I'd pass. | ||

| @Bronte I guess the big question is this. What if it was as rare as a Showcase 4? I own a Showcase 4 with a small piece out of the front cover. It's a Blue 2.0 white. That doesn't bother me because I can see it. So let's say I was looking at buying a Hulk 1 (or an X-Men 1, or a Spider-Man 1), should a missing centerfold piece (small, torn, not cut) bother me more than a small piece missing from the front cover where I can see it and KNOW that it's there? They are all Blue labels. Also, I've heard that Green labels aren't used as much in the lower grades. Maybe this is the case. Or maybe how deliberate the missing piece came to be missing can play a significant part? Maybe "cut out" is harsher than "torn off". I'd love to get a lot of feedback on this because these are the things that keep me up all night. Lol. Thank's all. I appreciate each and every one of you. | ||

| Like they say "buy the book, not the grade." If it was a book I had been hunting for a couple or three years, I'd probably get it. But if one comes up every month, I'd pass. | ||

| Personally I kind of agree. If the damage is readily visible it's easier for me to accept. If it's hidden in tbe book, it depends on price. If it is sold at less than a typical 2.0 then I'd get it as a placeholder. If it was being sold at FMV I'd pass. I don't think I could deal looking at that book knowing I paid full price with that kind of defect. | ||

| Wouldn't stop me. I wasn't gonna crack it a read the story anyway. At this point for me it would just be about display. I'd probably prefer the nicer presenting 2.0 with the missing piece over the kind without interior damage personally. | ||
