Thank you for that in depth reply. You're right it is so hard to detect and since posting this I have seen another copy that is similar to mine that is slabbed. I'm leaning more towards it not being trimmed and I'm glad because I'm so proud to own this book

That's a relief. I recently posted this on reddit and it got a mix bag of responses. It's so tough I have found another copy where Ben's elbow presses up against the edge and the faces are in the corner and folded round. But I have also seen copies that compensate for that by having a bigger gap between Ben's elbow and the edge. Thanks for taking the time to reply

Hi everyone 

I recently bought a copy of fantastic four 52. When it arrived it looked to me like it had been trimmed. I'm really concerned as I was planning to get this graded (I'm very new to grading) it took me so long to save to buy this book and so I would like to reach out to you all and see if anyone can see evidence of trimming. I suspect it has been trimmed down the right side of the cover. I know books are often mis wrapped during this era but I'm not sure if this falls in to that. And expertise anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.
