Is this TTA90 trimmed?

[seredynskib]

I purchased a Tales to Astonish 90 a couple weeks ago and the seller listed this book as FN/VF. Does the grading appear to be correct?

 

More importantly, does this copy look like the cover has been trimmed? The book has one page that is sticking out beyond the cover and it is the centerfold page. Everything else appears to be flush with the cover.

 

I found this to be bizarre. Is this a printer's defect or result of restoration work (trimming)?

 

 

 

Thanks for your help,

Brian

Hey Brian, links to larger scans would help in deciding what is going on with this book. You may want to provide a picture of the book opened up as well. It's also better not to crop the scans either - you top scan at the bottom! Re-post and I'd be happy to offer up an opinion!

Centerfold may be loose

Here are a few more pictures. Once again, my concern is wondering if this book has been trimmed on the right side of the cover or is the centerfold page supposed to stick out like that?

In my opinion the book is not trimmed. The center fold cover might have been miscut. The edges of your covers seem to be reasonably worn which is why I suspect the center fold to be the production defect.

 

Having said that it could only be confirmed if the book were in hand for closer inspection. It's a really nice looking book otherwise!

 

My guess for a grade would be Universal Blue Label 6.5 IMHO!
