One of the notes for my Hulk 1 is:

 

''Center Spine Stain''

 

What does that mean do they mean just a regular stain or could it mean a rust stain?

 

My guess is that since it is in the center it has nothing to do with the staple (s) causing a rust stain (s).

 

Would CGC have written rust if that was the case?

 

Sorry if this sounds like a ''stupid'' question G.A.tor (member here) told me to buy the notes for my books to make sure all is OK so everything seems to be just fine except I do not understand the above note I mentioned for my Hulk 1 CGC 4.5.

 

And when they say '''Center Spine Stain'' do they mean inside the comic or outside the comic book?

 

I guess G.A.tor is correct in the future better be safe than sorry and buy the notes before buying the book (so far I got lucky all seems fine for all my key SA books).

Hey, I thought I showed you how to get the notes in your BB28 Rusty Staples thread ? Now GATOR gets all the credit (lol). Seriously though, getting notes on all your books,after the fact, will drive you nuts. The notes sometimes seem to be written in a foreign language. Nobody here, including CGC, can tell you what the stain reference was. I would only obtain notes on a potential purchase or maybe a fresh submission. BTW, the older the Grade Date, the worse the notes seem to be.

Yes thanks I should have mentioned you as well. I am guessing if it is in the center spine it is not rust since the staples are not even close to the center of the comic book. Probably just a simple stain on the outside cover in the middle of the spine.

 

On their website they have a glossary of some of the terms they use and I found this one:

 

''Staple Rusted w/Rust Stained Interior''

 

So based on this I my guess is my Hulk 1 is just fine since they would have most likely used that terminology if their was a actual rust stain on my comic book.

Too bad it's in that holder. :P

lol The way CBCS books have been selling, it don't seem to make a big difference. (shrug)

 

Have they been selling well? It seems they still sell at a noticeable discount to CGC most of the time from what I have seen.

 

Unless we're talking restored books, which are nicely camouflaged by those pretty blue labels they stick on them. lol

They are still lower than CGC books of course, but not by that much. (thumbs u Especially for mega key books for what I have observed. 2c
