| @TommyJasmin I personally am fine with Brittle Pages only being a page designation and not affecting the overall Grade (in a vacuum). But with Brittle Pages comes chipping, so there’s sort-of a Catch-22 there because I would expect to see some pieces missing from the edges and corners of pages driving the grade down. If I bought a slabbed book with Brittle Pages I personally would be scared to re-slab it because I am just imagining the seal to the inner well being broken and everything immediately disintegrating into dust. Very limited Golden Age for me… |

Quote:Originally Posted by HooperSchaefer @HooperSchaefer - thx for the insight. I have seen slabbed brittle books with chips and debris loose inside the slab, so I get that. It sounds like you are saying "no grade knockdown for brittle pages" but only if the book is securely slabbed? Interesting. I've just always been in the camp that says page quality should be considered a defect with some effect on grade once a severity threshold is passed. In other words, I would not lower a grade for "off-white" pages. For "tan" pages, IMO if the book is very high grade, it should lower the grade some. If the book is otherwise very low grade, no effect. I've got this really brittle old issue of Fight Comics around somewhere, and once in awhile me and my friends pull it out and notice how much more crud accumulates at the bottom of the bag, just from handling it a little. We joke about (but honestly, consider) sending it in to see how, say, CBCS would handle it? Would they pour those chips from the bottom of the bag into the well, to include the "entire submission" ?  |

 I don't believe this....and I know you don't care that I don't believe this.

| @TommyJasmin Further regarding brittle pages designation. The entire book does not need to be brittle to get this designation. A small portion of the book might be brittle and the rest not be brittle but the book will get the brittle designation. | ||

| Thank you, all. I guess I will hold onto it for now as a 1.0. At least it has great eye appeal! | ||

| Yeah, you can't post CBCS slabs on the CGC forums, like you can't post PGX slabs here on the CBCS forum | ||

| As for OP. Keep your Archie in the slab and be happy to own it. Don't remove it or play with it any further. There's always a chance it gets damaged, now that may not change the grade but why risk it. |

| It’s a rare enough book that the grade is less important than its existence / preservation. It looks like a fairly graded 1.0, across any standard criteria. What is the intent? |
