Galen130 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Looking for opinions from my fellow boardies about this one. I found it in one of my long boxes...completely forgot I had it. The bottom spine corner shows an outward bend/crease, but it doesn't appear to break the ink...to me. What the picture shows is light reflecting off the bend/crease. The black mark at the bottom of the BC almost looks like a felt pen mark, but it's too perfect in my opinion. Not sure if this is man-made or not.... Thanks gang!!! There is something that I completely missed with this book...I may need new glasses. This book is held together with one staple only...the lower one!!! The upper staple never existed because there aren't any puncture marks. That just shows how tight this spine is with just the one staple. Unusual, but not unheard of. Any opinions on potential grade affects, etc??? Thanks again. Edited December 19, 2020 by Galen130 new info... 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B2D327 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 6.5 and I think the mark is ink from the printing process Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 That line looks to be from MFG printing. 8.0ish IMO. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if this is man-made or not.... That mark is present on other copies Galen - see another example below - so definitely printer related: I'm at 8.0/8.5. I like a Charlton, me.

Galen130 Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Anyone care to opine about potential value? I'm not seeing much on the interwebs so it may only be valuable in the eyes of the beholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
