Posted the above before noticing the additional scans. Now I see excess black ink dots and lines on the back cover which were perhaps deposited in the printing process. So it's a puzzle.
I appreciate the observations and thoughts. I spent a couple hours yesterday gong over these books with a black light and can't find any indication that its ct. The books, while not glossy, have a uniform reflection and texture to the logo when held so the glare hits it rather than the difference in texture one might expect of ink over a color break. Anyway I guess I've clogged up this thread, enough. I appreciate the insight from everyone!

Hey I've got a little question for you Planet heads...have a look at this. I was taking some interior cover pics upon request for a book I had listed when I noticed that pretty much every black line of the fc and bc (including all the little text at the bottom) showed what looked like a little bleedthrough. Here's an excerpt from our pm:
"Ok here are some pics of the interior cover. As I was taking the pics I noticed that there is what at first glance appears to be color touch bleedthrough which I never noticed. However upon very close examination of the outside and inside of the cover with a loupe, I'm 99.9 percent sure it is not. The marks on the inside cover correspond to every black line on the outside, even the tiny little text on the bc, bottom and under very close examination of the lettering and other black lines I can't see any evidence that they were written over. I feel like it would be nearly impossible to go over EVERY solid black line on the fc and bc without smudging or mucking up the tiny typed text. Anyhoo, just wanted to preface with that as at first I was a little perturbed, lol"
Is this something you've seen before or could this possibly be resto? Just seems implausible to me but...
Here it is january 9 19

I have seen this exact book before. Was it you that showed it to me?
Or did you buy it from a guy in Calgary Canada?
I listed it a couple years ago and asked about it in this thread. Took it down after a few days and put it back in the box. You apparently pmd me about it a few posts down but looking back through my pms I can't locate it.

Seems unlikely to me. That is not a part of the cover that typically receives color touch. Did someone trace the letters for "fun"? That seems possible. I still can't tell from the picture shared. But color touch just on the black outline of the letters in the title? That seems very unlikely IMO.
Kind of my thought as, like I said, I have scoured these for traces of some reason for someone to have wanted to ct these areas and have yet to find such...especially when there are other more blatant areas to target with a marker( spine ticks, faded areas, chips, etc.)

Do you think someone touched up all the black lines and text?

Hey, guys, here's a pic of the inside of the front cover of a Planet #53 I'm considering buying. Note the ink bleed-through from the FC. Is this a common "flaw" in the Planet run? Could it be the result of a press? Thoughts?
This is a book I was discussing selling to Matt and I was explaining to him that I have had a few planets and other fiction house books with this. It seems like it's the black outlines and text coming through as if someone had a steady enough hand to trace over all of those areas perfectly straight. Under a 10x loupe there is no sign of any color loss or chipping that would "warrant" color touch on the corresponding side of the cover. I haven't had the book pressed since I've owned it and honestly the spine has a nice "plumpness" to it that belies it being crushed I would think. I didn't realize pressing could potentially cause such an issue. Sorry for the manifesto.

PLANET COMICS 58 OW/W 5.0-5.5 range
$400SOLD!There are some little impact dents on the guy's back in the bottom right corner, none seem to go through the paper, just knocked the color off a tiny bit. Book is very solid. A couple of very tiny spots of rust on staples. Small areas of fading on fc upper spine and right top edge.

2 cancelled bids in the same auction by the same bidder is never a good thing. I don't run auctions anymore just because of the tom foolery that these auctions draw. BIN is the only way to go.
Hot dang'd ol' tomfoolery I tell ya!

Alain bought a raw X-Men 101 from my last thread and was a real pleasure to deal with. Paid right away after we agreed on a price and let me know once the book arrived. Top notch guy to do business with!
