  1. 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.

  2. 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.
