trmoore54 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 There are a few books that are very commonly found with this defect. Daredevil #7 is another. Ink transfer like this happens because the ink is still wet as the comics are coming off the presses and being stacked. CGC does not downgrade much for it at least up into the 9.4 range as far as I know. Hope this helps! Does the printing on the back of the book match up with the ink transfer that was left on the front; if so, this would further support your wet ink transfer comments... I will check the back cover and report back...can't remember at present...good idea though and thx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does on Daredevil #7...I've owned several high grade copies and almost all of them had it. I believe it does on this book too. The ink transfer on this book always looks the same (if it has it).

Agreed - looks like ink transfer. Too much ink on the presses or too much water on the presses. Either way, the cover ink was just a bit too wet when they moved on in the printing process.

Korvac Saga Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I put up my copy of JIM 109 awhile back which has XLNT appeal for the grade and received comments mostly along the lines that the markings in the THOR title were some type of storage ink transfer...I still have no idea and I've owned this book since approx. 1969...see below... So I thought it was interesting when I spotted this CGC-graded 9.0 on the current Clink auction and it had very similar markings Can it be surmised that there was some production-related aspect to this book...seriously, I've felt all along that this was some aspect of production ink on my book and not an aspect of wear or poor storage... The 9.0 book is my undercopy which can be had for a "mere" $560+ I've noticed that the 9.4 copy in the same auction also has the ink transfer staining, but my nice 9.2 copy doesn't: Just sayin'!!

Korvac Saga Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Submitted for your perusal: these just in: First up is one of those killer to find in HG books. This copy will hold the space nicely until a better copy comes along or Roy sells me his WM copy : This book is another elusive in HG book. There's only a single 9.6 ahead of it. Sure its miswrapped, but at 1K less than FMV I had to pull the trigger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
