BlowUpTheMoon Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have a Cap 100 from an original owner collection that resembles that book. greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a BA book that has a similar look but isn't as dramatic. The seller literally stated the "book may be trimmed" which is typically obfuscated transparency. badback83 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The auction has completed but I found the listing. Interesting too that there's a 3rd staple which looks original. Its possible its been grossly mis-cut but when I see the curl with a straight edge at the corner I feel its trimmed. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CAPTAIN-AMERICA-100-1ST-ISSUE-CLASSIC-COVER-HIGH-GRADE-/142527481246?hash=item212f4cc59e%3Ag%3AwA0AAOSwls5Y6VbL&nma=true&si=x9ootypLrwWJlU6SqrVSBPRFTuM%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizards2 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 The back cover is the same - possibly just a miscut at the plant....., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicquant Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 It actually looks as if the interior pages slid to the right when attaching the cover. If you look closely at the center fold you can see the staples are closer to the margin on the left side. So maybe the back half of the book is whats jutting out while the front half is short.

Yeah - not real attractive - I would be interested in what CGC would do with the book. If I had more money right now, it would be a kick to see. comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the interior is correct, it is just the covers. So probably a normal SA slab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
