  1. I bought this at SDCC years ago and didn’t realize it was pretty htf until I saw a post with someone selling.  This book has some strange marks on the black portions.  The top left staple has what looks like a color rub. The bottom right corner has what looks like water marks but they aren’t.  That’s not a crease on the bottom right. Again, just that strange fading of the color.  It had to have happened with printing? Anyways, how do those 2 things impact the grade? Thanks in advance for any replies.

  2. Just a heads up, but the books at midtown grand central where littered with production defects. I don't know if the run is plagued by production defects but these books, most of them were *spoon*. I wished I'd look them over more carefully, but I made the mistake of just looking at the spine, edges and corners.

     

    Defects included dents and creases, some strange indentions that looked that bad press jobs, look for defects both on the front and rear cover.

     

    My LCS received 6 copies yesterday and I was looking for the best 2. I noticed the strange dents on the backside of the cover too. I thought the employee just had long fingernails lol. They should press out though

     

    Also, I showed up a few hours after the opening and asked how was the title moving. I was told I was the first to buy the book and they had only ordered those 6 copies :o
