So I have a fairly unique question for the forum boards. I have a Fantastic Four #57 that is missing the top staple. - Now, to qualify this statement. The staple did not break, fall out, etc. It was NEVER in the comic. There are no holes on ANY of the pages, including the cover, around/where the staple SHOULD have been placed when the comic was printed.
So my question is this: Does this affect the grade determined for the book?
Other than the staple missing, the book is virtually flawless. I haven't ever seen one in this condition. It is beautiful.
Obviously, the answer to this question will determine whether I submit the book.
Thanks in advance!
