  1. I am wondering how CGC would evaluate a staple that was so badly misshapen due to a bindery issue at the printer that the wire actually created a small hole in the centerfold from the end of the staple that wouldn't have happened if the staple was correctly affixed to the book during the printing process. As I understand it bindery defects that occur because of issues with the comic book printer's production process are typically not counted or counted as harshly against a book by CGC as long as the book is sound otherwise, think the cover being wrapped incorrectly, square-bound spine dimples, double cover, and many other bindery issues that happened before the book is shipped to the distributor. The best that the book can be is when it arrives at the distributor and CGC typically grades books with bindery defects on a curve, taking into account said bindery defects before they start counting up any post-printing process defects that should've been mitigated by rabid collectors' strict adoption of correct collecting protocols designed to mitigate 100% of pesky grade affecting problems by just taking an insanely proactive approach to your comic collecting venture... Right? Who's coming with me? I'm not gonna do what everyone thinks I'm gonna do and freak out! For cereal how does CGC handle a problem that really isn't something that I can press out... Thanks for the insight into the minds of the all-knowing and powerful CGC graders
  2. I recently found this Swamp Thing #50 in perfect condition, and was excited to add it to my collection… Later upon further inspection, I noticed it felt a bit lighter than the average comic book. I opened the book to find out it was missing the middle pages! despite its seemingly NM condition, it became evident that the missing pages must have fallen out due to a mis-stapling defect by the manufacturer. (My speculation) Further, I don’t believe this to be a restoration of any sort, due to no indication that this book was ever stapled on the spine. has anyone here ever encountered such a defect? Some one please help me understand…
  3. Hey Guys i am about to send a book for grading which is in a near mint condition overall. However, I have noticed a small scratch on the front cover. how much do you think it will impact the grade ? thank you all for your help !
  4. I have this book and it seems to be in 9.8 condition beyond what I've been told us a manufacturing defect/error, damage caused during print. Has anyone seen this before? I've also been told cgc doesnt tend to deduct much, if anything, for manufacturing errors I've ALSO been told that this book could never grade higher than a 7. Can you guys and gals please help me figure out what to do with this book The damage, if you notice, runs the length of the book from left to right across the entire cover to varying degrees
  5. Noticed a good portion of my comics from this era seem to be cropped. Cropped in a sense that the entire book was probably printed on the pages a lot higher up than usual. This isn't very noticeable with the contents in the book except for the bottom margin being larger but cover images look deranged as some of the top cover text is cut off. No portion of the cover is missing a portion of the image as I know that prior to printing artists have a much larger cover art that inevitably gets trimmed down. Would submitting comics with these manufacturing defects affect grade? Does this qualify as a physical defect?
  6. Just picked up this nice raw copy of ASM 72. The seller claimed in the description that the centerfold was hanging on without a picture of any of the interior. Got the book a few days ago and inspected it page by page and then found four full pages detached from the bottom staple. From the fourth image you can see the lower staple end seems to be clipped. Could this be a defect? I've caught two books from 1968/1969 in the last few months with a lot of staple issues. Anyone have any insight? Thanks
  7. So I bought these three issues at different times and they seem to all have the same issues on the corners. How bad could they get hit in grading or can this be considered a defect when the comic was cut? The books look great except for these corners. The comic book issue is thicker than a normal comic though.
  8. Just picked up a New Mutants #1 which is missing the top staple. This is not a case where the staple came out; there is no tear, staple holes, or indentation marks. It looks like the staple was never inserted in the first place. Is this a common error? Anyone else come across this? And any idea what CGC makes of such types of errors? I'm new to CGC and grading, and this is my first post, so thanks for any help and apologies if this is a well known stupid thing in this community. Pics can be provided. -Matt
  9. At first I thought someone just added 2 staples to this book, but the more I look at it I'm not so sure. Only 2 staples puncture the cover. The other 2 just go thru the book. The 4 staples look similar in age /wear as far as I can tell? Anyone ever seen a defect like this? Or is it simply someone added unneeded staples at some point? Im guessing it's the latter, but thought I'd ask to be sure.
