    Hi everyone, I’m new to collecting and grading but a few copies of Ghost Rider 2099 #1 from 1994 made me curious about manufacturing flaws. This cover included black ink printed over silver foil and this seemed to produce lots of variation in overall appearance. Every copy I have seen has shown (what I believe) is a scratchy effect from the roller(s?) effecting the ink. This appears very frequently in the center of the book and also along the spine where it thickened a bit from the fold. A weird very thin line that runs top to bottom and also often appears in the center of the book on a lot of copies as well. Below are copies from a pretty extreme example. Would anyone have more info on this and how it effects grading considering how many copies contain some or all of these defects? Thanks and glad to be on the forum! - Mike
