| Just wondering..when the comics graders notes comes back as "light spine stress & wear barely breaks color" as many of us have experienced...how much is LIGHT spine stress? At what point does it become another number less on a grade? Thoughts? for example on my own books as follows: 9.8:tiny spine stress & wear breaks color 9.6:small spine stress & wear breaks color deep tiny indent interior front cover, noticable on cover, does not break color 9.4:spine stress & wear breaks color light bends & indents to cover 9.2:light spine stress & wear breaks color surface wear & scratches to cover surface wear & scratches to cover 9.0:light spine stress & wear barely breaks color |

| Hard to say. I've seen -tiny spine stress -light spine stress -spine stress And then the -does not break color -barely breaks color -breaks color I would think there is a formula for designating the various combinations of all six of those items (and number of them) for a given grade. Tiny seems to be just that, tiny. Hard to see up close. In my experience light is a stress that is seen at arms length while the last being full 1/4" obvious stress. Assuming 1 single stress for grading question? From what Steve said previously 9.9 can have a single almost microscopic defect, and then from what I've seen on my books 9.8 is very hard to see, 9.6 can see it a foot away, and 9.4 no prob seeing it. No way I'm taking a stab at this question in under 9.4  |

| It all depends on the size of the defect and how much it takes away from the overall 'eye appeal' 1/8 of an inch can make a difference. We all have different opinions and that applies to the people who grade them as well! Just like @shrewbeer said though 9.4 to 9.0 is a tough call for me. | ||

| Instead of thinking of these descriptors as a particular size or number, think of them in terms of significance. They may mean different things in conjunction to different defects or even different books. For something like spine stress, you might see the following in order of significance... Very tiny spine stress Tiny spine stress Very small spine stress Small spine stress Spine stress Large spine stress Very large spine stress These terms may not be used so much in reference to size, but more in terms of the signicance of the spine stress. As mentioned by someone else, you sometimes get additional description of that defect by the following... Does not break color Barely breaks color Breaks color In terms of breaking color, some defects are understood to break or not break color when no modifyer is given. Meaning "small bends bottom right corner" don't break color because they're bends. Bends don't generally break color. "Small crease bottom right corner" is assumed to break color, because a crease by general definition, breaks color. If there were a crease that did not have a color break, you would see, "small crease bottom right corner does not break color." |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.
