A little help with a ink transfer?

[rube11]

This is the back cover of a very nice book...BUT I have never seen anything like this. Seller claims that its some type of transfer stain (perhaps when the ink was drying) on the inside back cover that bled to the outside cover.

 

What affect would this have on the book if without it the book is a solid NM?

An ink transfer occurs when the books are stacked after printing. The front cover inks transfer to the BC that is stacked on top of it. Or vice-versa.

 

Is there a purple/blue artwork in the same place on the FC? If so, then maybe. But it looks to me to be too localized.

No its only on the back cover, and the inside of the back cover and very light on the last page...it almost looks like a marker spot.

Ink transfer on the inside back cover that bled through? If its an FF50, the inside black cover only has black ink and text on that spot. The inside last page is red and yellow, no blue (cyan). Tell the seller to try again and trust your gut. Looks like marker or pen to me. Or maybe solvent that caused a bleed.

 

And if its a stacking transfer from the front of another copy, FF 50 is brown.

Actually I didn't mention the book, so how would you summize its an FF 50? I do agree that its not an ink transfer though, and maybe even a distributor mark that happened to hit that spot instead of lower when going through books.

Could be an elaborate subterfuge.

I have a Tomb of Dracula 10 that looks the same. It looks like a 9.0/9.2, but has that similar stain, it got a 7.5.
