    I think subscription mailing changed quite a bit from the days of these early books to later.  I had subscriptions (unfortunately) to a number of Marvel titles in the mid-70s and normally the only real "damage" is at the top and bottom of the books in the middle where they were folded and which were vulnerable to rubbing inside the paper sleeves in which they were mailed.  There's no sharp color-breaking crease on any of my books.  Here's an example.

    Interesting! Did not know any of that. I always thought they were book length. Your description makes more sense. I also wonder what @etanick thinks - if he’s still checking the boards? Different eras with different subscription creases maybe? He used to have some KNOWLEDGE on that particular topic from what I remember…I always want OO copies so I’d be curious to know…
