Check out this QP! X-Men 105

I think the QP 10.0 grade must allow for some level of subjective flexibility .

 

You've officially lost your mind.

There is no flexibility in QP.

 

Really? Please post a scan of an objective 10.0

Last one. This one makes me sick every time I look at it.

The Team-Up 20 and Ghost Rider 1 both have wrap-angle issues... both nice books, but the lines just aren't straight.

 

The WBN is a heart-breaker because at one time that one WAS gorgeous...

I agree that there is imperfect angular centering. Here is a spidey with almost perfect angular centering but is centered low. Yes the webs do show but it is off. Still a 9 IMO.

Here's something you may have never seen brought up before.

Did you realize that a lot of the books were designed out of square?

Therefore, if the book is *cut* squarely, those books have the correct wrap.

This is very common from the early '70's through the late '80's.

 

Here's a scan of original cover art. (Thanks Heritage!)

 

Now here's the same pic brought into Photoshop and I've added some blue grid lines that represent *squareness*.

Note the banner at the top is not square. If the book is cut squarely, the banner will be running at a diagonal as the books you commented on are.

I also placed grid lines around the outside of the art to show that I have it square to begin with.

 

Who says you can't learn things by reading a forum?
