I can't tell if they also got there scan to leave off a comment that says Miscut as qualifier on the label as if it isn't apparent enough....

Det #109 must have been plagued with problems from the press. I saw a CGC 8.0 copy that was even MORE muscut than this copy!

Here's a Tec 114's on Heritage http://apps.heritagecomics.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=804&Lot_No=7756&src=pr&sid=75743A744679B47FC6F734DD2917180E This one in particular looks badly miscut.

This 7.5 isn't as bad but has an awfyl lot of white on the right hand bottom edge.

Yeh that's really bad. I can't stand stuff like this. At least it's on the back of the book, tanning and dark dust shadows just kill the look of a book.

Yeah, no offense but I really can't stand it when books look like that.

Btw, I should probably remove my earlier post as this is the same seller who started emailing me with physical threats after I posted on here about a year back that his Cap book he had up for auction was "ugly". Watch out for that guy

I wasn't thrilled with the dust shadow but I wanted an unrestored slabbed copy. I tracked down all the copies higher than my 5.0 except for one of the 5.5's and every issue except the 9.4 (solf for over 30 K) had some kind of problem that got it a qualifying remark on the label. the 9.0 on PGCMint has a coupon filled out. The 7.5 has stamps on the 1st 3 pages or so plus a "K" written on the cover and writting is kind of my pet peeve. The 6.5 is thw Twilight with moderate tanning interior front and back covers. The 5.5 I found and was up again for sale less than a month ago has glue on the spine. Every raw copy I have seen for sale has either been no better than mine or restored. So I took what was available and affordable.
