I have this Swamp Thing #37 with rusty staples. How much will this effect the grade of the book overall?  |

| That's going to get hammered. Worse than stains in my opinion. | ||

| @CFP_Comics agreed. Better to save up some money and buy a nice turn key | ||

| Out of curiosity, why are rusty staples treated so harshly grading-wise? Is it because they are indicative of water damage, or is the oxidation enough to slam the grade? | ||

| @jrs well in general outside of a tear o think rust just makes a comic look like POS. Not to mention it is usually indicative of moisture which might be more apparatus to a trained wye...like a grader. Removing and replacing a staple that is rusty is one thing but once the rust has embedded itself deep in to covers amd or pages it is touch to remove. If it's just a staple, not affecting the paper it can be removed, possibly cleaned, or replacdd. All things you want to avoid. So that's my view on rusty staples. |

| Also, once rust migrates, it will eventually spread throughout the paper and destroy the comic. It can take a very long time, but it can still happen. | ||

| The rust is eating the comic book paper. It is that simple. Rusty staples are simply reader copies with almost zero investment potential as the rust molds continue their mission. | ||
