He doesn't mean that it is restored. Obviously the blades they used to cut this comic during the manufacturing process weren't very sharp and hence caused the edges not to be perfectly straight. As far as I know, this is quite common among Marvel comics, can even cause a lot of chips to be missing from the edges as little pieces were torn away by not very sharp blades. This effect is called Marvel chipping and is tolerated to some extend in the grading process.

I think I'm liking that at an 8.5...

Ahhh sorry for the misinterpretation guys. Thanks for clarifying for me

Me too. Textbook 8.5 IMO

 

I think, and I'm not 100% on this, that all of the 6 or so copies of ASM 46 I've owned have had gnarled edges from dull blades.

There appears to be some kind of damage on the lower left corner of the book around the pillar area? I can't be certain but it does appear to be a significant bend but no colour break is noticeable. My guess for this grade would have to be 7.0 to maybe 7.5.

[cpannell]

I can't see that "significant bend" in the lower left corner. (Perhaps I need new glasses.)

 

8.5

Had I meant restored, I'd have said "trimmed"

my bad

It is difficult to tell what it is but if you look at the large scan go to the left side at Shockers right foot. It appears as though it extends in an arch from Shockers foot to the bottom of the page just to the right of the pillar between the black of the pillar and the black in the first break of the concrete. Maybe ask the owner if it is there or maybe I need glasses?
