Interested in picking this up. It looks great, but it does have some discoloration at the bottom left. Just curious how much this would affect the grade considering how good of shape the rest of the book appears to be. Thanks in advance!

Unlikely, unfortunately. The book is going for around $60 unslabbed on eBay and it only cost $20, so it was a great price. It was a customer appreciation variant which they sold out of. I've attached the cover for the book, which is a great Kirkham cover.

It was the virgin Customer Appreciation variant from Unknown Comics. I emailed them and hope they can find a solution, but I always assume they're simply out of stock or that this is an acceptable level of damage for a book that only has a certain guaranteed condition.

I'll be slabbing close to 30 books in the next month or so. I received one today that's in perfect condition, but it has a small chip in the lower left corner. It seems to have come from manufacturing, but I was wondering how much something like this might deduct on an otherwise mint book. (The images are very high def, and nick is much smaller than it appears, so I added a finger for scale.) Thanks in advance!
