Comic Book Condition Pet Peeves??

[JAM_NYC]

Any rust on staples, no way.

Brittle pages, forget it.

Don't like crazy amounts of spine stress.

Pressing doesn't please me. If I know it's pressed, I will probably look for something else.

Being an exterminator, rat , silverfish,or any other pest is out of the question. Think about, if rats chew on it, there is a certainty that they urinated on it too.

 

I don't chew on many of my books, but I usually urinate on them before shipping - never had a complaint.

I only buy from you on asparagus night.

Honestly, top page edge yellowing, from sitting in open long boxes exposed to florescent lighting. Even on my "drek" readers, I cannot stand seeing white pages edges on the bottom and side, then seeing the horrid yellow on the top edge.

 

I've even gotten a few 9.8 slabs with the yellowed top edge that I've sent back.

I hate it when someone drew a mustache, beard, or glasses on the character on the cover.

The only book that could have gotten more of a chuckle from me would have been the X-Men #100

Cool that it's a penic pence copy.

Brittle pages and Trimming. If either of those conditions are present, I'll pass.

Damaged new comics that just came out because of horrible shipping .

[davidpg]

I'm not too picky as long as the price is reflective of condition. The only thing that does bother me is cover color fade...it would have to be a dirt cheap deal for me to ever buy a book that's faded.

Foxing.

 

And it's funny, but I could be okay with "stank" -- once bought a _huge_ stack of raw 4.5-7.0 Our Gang & early Tom & Jerry from an original owner in Puerto Rico. The books looked great but smelled. Cheap enough it didn't matter...

 

 

[AKA Rick]

1. Rusty staples

 

2. Missing pages

 

3. Cover or pages detached from staples

 

4. Writing on the cover, including autographs. I would rather have a cgc 7.0 than a 9.8 signature series of the same book.

[letsgrumble]

Water damage, waviness, foxing, stains, stickers, dirt, scribbles, soiling, musty odours, chews, pieces missing, staple pops, rust, sharp bends, tanning, spine splits, and full-length creases.

 

And it even bugs me to see a book in a wrinkled, yellowed poly bag.

Covers that are not centered.
