bababooey Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 A crack and re-sub to add Dave Hunt is impressive. I recall flipping through all my BA Spidey's looking for the Hunt & Mortellaro background messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On an otherwise perfect book, the miswrap can downgrade the book between 9.6 and 9.9. This is not that bad of a miswrap and completely acceptable on 9.8 OrangeNemesis, adampasz and deadleg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 If I was after a 9.8 of the book I wouldn't bother with this copy. Quite easy to find plenty of ASM 129s without such a noticeable miswrap. Not that prone to it, compared to, for example, FF 67. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian48 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm fine with this type of miswrap. More of the art is available for viewing and also it does not look crooked. Wouldn't stop me from buying this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, your post answers the OP's question better than anyone else as to why this is a 9.8 . Because many collectors, like yourself, don't mind it.

STORMSHADOW_80 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Still looks beautiful to me. I struggled with staples being properly aligned on my copy, but it didn't affect the grade. ADAMANTIUM and nepatkm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Comics Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 From the scan the book looks like a virtually flawless 9.8. The miswrap (and it's slight) may have stopped it from getting a 9.9. The book is a 9.8 all day long, and twice on Fridays (cuz it's a Friday thread) Jim KryptoSpidey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
