How does CBCS treat subscription creases?19336

Collector Kranzor private msg quote post Address this user
So I have an X-Men 1 CGC 2.0 that I think was really hurt by the subscription crease during grading. It presents better than most CGC 2.5s or 3.0s that I see (at least I think so).

The grader notes indicate "multiple color breaking creases" which is mostly from the sub crease.

Curious if CBCS treats sub creases as harshly, or what kind of grade I could expect if I submitted this one?

hopefully, the same way.

a subscription crease is a subscription crease

I feel like CBCS is a little more forgiving on stuff like that (at least from what I've seen)? No?

But maybe that has changes over the years, I really don't know.

Accumulation of defects along with the Subscription Crease and the “Tape on interior cover” 2.0 seems fair. Sub creases are allow in FN to F/VF but the tape is killing it.

sub creases should be vg+ at best, isn't that stated in overstreet?

crease is a crease - doesn't matter if it's a dog eared corner or a subscription crease - if it breaks colour it breaks colour - doesn't matter how it got there.

Maybe...just maybe if all..ALLLLLL... the issues of a certain book were ONLY available through subscription and ALL had the crease - but that is a hypothetical

If you are shopping for a more lenient grade than CGC ... CBCS is not the place
