What would you do?

Thinking of getting this graded at SGC. It has a vertical crease down the middle of the booklet and on each page. Not sure how to get it graded. Should I try for a numerical grade or as an "A"? If I choose numerical, how many grades lower would I get for that crease? The entire booklet has the same crease on every page. There are other problems, so is it even worthwhile getting a numerical grade?

Getting a booklet like this graded means no one can see what’s inside and enjoy the contents. I don’t think a slab would add anything to its resale value anyhow. So … I say no to a grading! Just my opinion…..

+1 Seriously doubt that grading a booklet like that would add any major value to the item. Also, not likely to be something that any scammer would bother to take the time and effort to fake.

I was kinda of leaning that direction also. Thanks for the help!

I could be wrong - happens a lot around here - but I’m not sure that they even will slab booklets like this.

And I agree with the rest that I’m not really seeing any upside to getting it slabbed.

SGC slabs em. But I'm now convinced not to grade. Thanks again.
