There are different types of damage from moisture. From small stains to warped pages. I thought this would be a good forum for discussion. I wanted to know what the community thinks. And, hopefully, someone may know how a professional grading company handles it.]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2016 19:54:20 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5677
Grading isn't a simple scale where you subtract X points for water damage, X points for missing page, etc. Each book is viewed as a complete piece and all of the aspects of the book are considered in total to arrive to a grade.

That's why professional grading is time consuming and the people who do it have done it for years. Takes a skillful eye to be a good grader.]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2016 14:59:16 GMT https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=5677 Wed, 09 Mar 2016 20:49:32 GMT
