Looks like this book is getting more attention now.

Thanks. This is now up on keycollector

If you look carefully, you will see America Chavez on the Granov cover of Marvel Now! Point One #1 (2012), making it her first cover appearance. Granted, it is a horrible first cover appearance, but it doesn't change the fact that it is her first cover appearance. Now for the question, does it make a difference since she has a much better cover appearance in Young Avengers vol 2 #1 that stands as the market's view of her first appearance?

Cool. I wouldn't call this a collectable flaw. Just something for people to be aware of and perhaps for CGC to consider whether different grading vs their current approach is merited.

I'm talking about the partially redacted string just above the price in the feedback profile page.

I don't trust the redacted names ebay shows. when I go to Ebay from a different browser while not logged in and look a feedback I left from the page of the seller, the parts of the account name don't match mine. Try for yourself.

I've seen several 9.8's (not of this specific ) with this kind of underhang. I have 1-2 myself.

Maybe these are actually special edition Wolverine Watermarks.

Wonder what the threshold is between production and mass production.

How does CGC handle grading for production defects that affect some, but not copies of a particular issue? The specific example I'm interested in is below (i've posted on a different thread but figured this would be a better place). Several copies of Amazing Fantasy #15 (the 2004 version) were printed with what looks like 3 claw marks on the top right hand section of the back cover. I personally have 2 of these copies with this defect and I've seen many more (see the pictures from ebay below) with the same problem. The ones with this flaw typically grade out at 9.4. If this were a commonly known/recognized flaw, would it grade any differently?

Several different current or recently sold listings on ebay that all had the same 3 marks in top left area.

Agree. If it were known that this is a common print flaw would that make a difference? And regardless, it looks like a decent % of these have this flaw. Seems like it would further elevate the value of the non flawed ones if widely known.

Here's more ebay listings with the 3 "claw" marks on the back: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-15-Marvel-2006-1st-Appearance-Amadeus-Cho-Hulk-Brawn-NM/324273221327?hash=item4b8030aecf:g:QYkAAOSwYBFfQl9k https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-Vol-2-15-CGC-8-5-1st-App-Amadeus-Cho-and-6-others-characters/143709475874?hash=item2175c09422:g:iL8AAOSwZ9VfSqIf https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-15-Marvel-2006-1st-Appearance-Of-Amadeus-Cho-Hulk-Brawn-/164342705456?hash=item264396ad30%3Ag%3AB3AAAOSw-HRfO5il&nma=true&si=2ON3YXRJIvyuxt5%2B9rugP3SXnac%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-FANTASY-VOL-2-15-1st-AMADEUS-CHO-TOTALLY-AWESOME-HULK-NM-HIGH-GRADE-/224128445190?hash=item342f18ab06%3Ag%3A-10AAOSwTjRfQTxH&nma=true&si=2ON3YXRJIvyuxt5%2B9rugP3SXnac%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-15-Vol-2-1st-Print-2006-1st-App-of-Amadeus-Cho-new-Hulk-/264835857792?hash=item3da9727d80%3Ag%3ALzsAAOSwjJpfOrM1&nma=true&si=2ON3YXRJIvyuxt5%2B9rugP3SXnac%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I know this I'm probably over-reacting here but bear with me. Only 14K of this first appearance were printed. There is no 2nd run or variant. If there's a potential print flaw affecting a % of this low number, that is a big deal, right? I am now attaching pictures of my 2 9.4's. First picture is the front cover print flaw I mentioned above, the line between the T and O in the word story. 2nd picture is another set of identical flaws I noticed on the back cover. Both have 3 "claw marks" running down the top right of the back cover in the same place. I'm wondering how many were affected or if this is just a huge coincidence. Finally, I submit to you yet another Ebay listing. This one has a semblance of the front flaw , but check this out. The back has the same 3 claw marks. Check out picture # 11. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-Vol-2-15-1-Amadeus-Cho-VF-Nice-Copy/392922539817?hash=item5b7c022729:g:CcsAAOSwv9pfSIrU so 2 questions: 1. What impact do print flaws like these have on ratings? 2. If this is a somewhat common flaw for this issue, does this have any impact on the value of flawless versions?
