Found this one the other day. Another way these were distributed

I really am not looking to slab this error issue as I know it would be dinged on a lot of issues that in truth are all from the manufacturing errors and as you said I too would want to see all the issues that made it past QC. I was using this book as an example to help better refine my understanding of what CGC dings on grading and what errors they will and will not grade. I pulled this specific book from my collection of errors as it has the most errors that still present as not quite bad enough that to me was borderline whether CGC would grade or not. Issues being the cover overhang interior at to by about 1/4" , cover offset , interior pages miscut, interior pages still attached at top( due to miscut). I have a bunch of other error books that I know will grade. I.e. double covers. Multiple interiors under one cover . Double pages. Miscuts. Misprint. Etc. I was using a worst case to see what the board thought specific issues would have effect on overall grade and which issues would have CGC call too severe to grade. Thank you for your communication.

So they would grade this even with overhang and interior pages completely attached at the top of book? Meaning you really can not open the book all the way to look at interior spine.

No offense.... This right here. . Thank you for the laughs you both just made my day..

Thank you . Definitely a manufacturer error which is what I do love about this one. Can still see the DC info at the bottom of front cover. Can't believe this one made it out. I appreciate your feedback.

I appreciate the information. I had the same issue with the museum edition of too much over hang , however this one was less and with the attached internal pages I was not sure. Thank you.

Thank you I appreciate the communication and feedback!

That is one of the reasons I sought out some of these.( Still find one every so often.) I too think they are cool and would agree they are harder to find as if their quality control found them, they were destroyed. I had a feeling they would not slab it, which was something I was considering . Due to there are not going to be many of these errors out in circulation, but due to the almost 1/4" overhang at the top of cover over interior pages and them still being bound together at the top.( Can not really open the interior) I figured they would not slab it.

Thank you for the communication. I too love some of these oddballs. I have a lot of miscut, print error and double covers. Ok I should have thought of that. Here are some more pictures of the issues. Besides from offset interal at to pages due to the offset are also still uncut and most are still attached so they will not open up at the top

Ok first off I know this is one of those why would you grade that , however I am using this as more of a learning curve on harder to grade and oddball books. I do know that cgc in the past would not grade any books where the cover overhangs internal pages as the Foreign Museum Editions . So I pose this question to the all knowing comic board. Aside from issues that could be cleaned and pressed out what would this grade or would they just refuse? Also yes it is ironic the back cover says brain transplant, $39.99 as I am sure many who will read this will think I have lost my mind..

I just replied to PM and yes it is really cool! Would have been awesome to be there saw a lot of the pictures and I really remember the original death and would have been right at home celebrating the 25th!

Where did you find the man of steel 18 La Mole? I would really like to find a few of that book.

I have created this for my profile to allow for Feedback and Kudos. Please keep the shenanigans to PM or on general board topics. Thank you.

Keithl I am curious if you still have this Superman 409?

There is a TON of great information compiled here! Thank you all! I am currently working on a set started in the 90's and stashed away. Sad a few years ago sold off some of my packs not understanding what was contained inside of them. Now trying to track down more to replace what I let go.
