ASM #45 bad staple placement

[jessebrook1]

How much does the staple placement effect the grade?

At least there is no folds on the cover from where the staples are at

I have no clue how cgc would come down on this book, but I'd have no problem with buying it raw or slabbed at MV.

 

Based on the front cover and disregarding the staple placement, I'd go with a(n)...

 

7.5/ 8.0

i thought that for production type defects it wouldnt hurt the books grade in cgc's eyes.

 

is there a back cover to this

[Calamerica]

I have had many books like this.

 

My evaluation is based on what I THINK CGC would grade this.

 

6.5

 

CAL been hammered many times because of comics similar to this one...

Wow! really?

 

Thats about the worst staple placement ive ever seen on a Marvel book. Anyways though, i thought CGC didnt downgrade for production boo-boos like this?

The defect will not drop the book at all, in my understanding of how cgc grades. You could probably go all the way up to 9.6 with that kind of staple placement.

 

Now if there are tear marks around the staples because of their poor placement that will drag it down, just like any other staple tear.

I agree, the staple location only affects the likelihood of damage from opening the pages.

 

I'll call it a 8.5 from what's visible. It looks great besides the staples.

There is no back cover,so I could'nt call it anything yet.

Do you guys think there's a chance they would note on the label that it affects the story?

 

I've got to assume that because of how off the staples are, the book can't be opened far enough and some panels are obscured. Is that possible or no?

The book can't be opened AT ALL as long as it's in a slab, so why would that matter?
