PGM Saga #1 vs. Where did that crease come from? New scans now

[DoomBat]

Edit: Added some scans with a different background.

 

Hello all,

 

My copy has those little bindery tears on the spine corners that everyone's talking about. The weird thing I'm interested in is this crease that goes throughout the back edge (not the spine). At first I thought it was because it might have shifted in the box bending it,but it's straight throughout. I saw some other copies with the exact same problem.

 

Any opinions are appreciated.

 

New background:

It's kinda hard to grade things that are all White, especially on a white background.

The spine tears, or the weird crease?

Added new scans with a different background. Hope that helps.

I don't have any spine tears on mine,but do have that weird crease.

Gotcha. I wonder if it would be treated as a production defect, or dinged in grade.

So here is what i saw it was hard to get a good zoom resolution got pixalated but my thought are 9.4/9.6 not to sure with this one. I dont know if these are issue that i pointed out or not. Or are from bag?

Now Im not trying to jihack your thread but this one here is a scan of my back cover when i zoomed in found a crease this was a better one of the 12 that i picked up the other one looks like printer error? so i got to look them all over again now. Maybe they will allow some slack on the grading of these?

Thanks. The left flaw is a little lifting on the cover, probably hit it on the edge of something. I think the right is just shadow.

I think I've seen some with similar flaws. I'm also hoping for some slack on these. I'll probably submit one, and see what happens.

My copy is flawless except for that thing on the bottom left.

I actually have the spine things on the top and bottom of my copy, these were on every copy I saw in store, which was kind of disappointing. I have not seen the creases though....
