Printing errors

[B-Smooth]

I haven't subbed any books thus far with printing errors, and i'm curious to know what the opinions here on any grade reductions for it? If the rest of the book is near perfect (slam dunk 9.8), can this book still get that grade with this flaw? I've seen some REALLY bad miswraps and bindery tears get 9.8's?

I know this is too a lesser degree, but I personally find it to be more distracting because of how it stands out. AND it's a supposed 10.

Production defects don't get taken into account when books are being graded. It won't affect the grade.

Good to know. I'm a sports card guy foremost, and cards will always get annihilated for any kind of production defect like that. Thanks.

My opinion is completely different in that I believe i can find the book without this printing error "defect" and therefore these types of printing errors should be considered when grading. I do not think that Wolverine is a 10 gem mint at all and I certainly would never pay the price the case demands ( it sold for $14,000.00 ).

This 9.8 will likely be under 200 dollars and doesn't have the ugly ink blobs at the top, nor the dot blob in the W that is on the copy in the gem mint 10 case.

The 9.8 is a much superior copy in my opinion.

I suppose this may answer my question. I don't mind it that much because the book seems to have this issue on many occasions. Like the cutting on ASM 300. If it is someones here's book, I apologize and will remove it, even though I find the production flaw acceptable. Now miswraps drive me nuts!

I agree. A 10.0 should be perfect in EVERY way. If the same book came along without the production defect how can they grade it any higher? At least a 9.9 would give some room to move.

an 11? Really though, I agree the wolverine should have been a 9.9 at best. Mainly due to the page quality more than that printing error.

This one also surprised me, being a NM98 9.9.
