  1. This came as a surprise in a run of Iron Man #1-54 that I bought last year.
  2. I bought this back in the early 1980s when I was quite naive about restoration. I'm 95% certain this book is trimmed on the long edges of the front and back covers, thus making it not worth grading (to me). But I want to make sure it's not some weird production issue, in which case I would submit it if it's a known issue.
  3. This book has a small stain on the front cover. I thought it was an oily stain at first, but it does not penetrate to the inner cover, and I was able to make it fainter with an eraser. It has been cleaned and pressed. The stain is circled in red in the closeup photo - the other specks are not on the comic, probably need to clean the lens.
  4. I know distribution ink is usually supposed to be a minor issue, but this book has a LOT and I have no idea how harshly it should be graded.
