gadzukes Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Pretty nice, but has a few spine tics. It also has a manufacturing defect (siamese pages?) When the defect is folded in to the comic you don't see it. Should I just leave that alone or carefully trim it to the page size.

I see it every once in a while. I figured it was a form of siamese pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard a proper name for this defect before. The paper gets folded over before the cutting process. Edited April 26, 2021 by Jeffro.

I know the term Dog Ear but I didn't know they extended past the original trim line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnybooks Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 slab it as is...these days, with the post office issues, it'll cushion the rest of the book against damage during transport... MPH1964 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH1964 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 One would think that if you trim the pages, that would likely cause the book to drop to a restored grade (if detected). Since they are a production flaw, just leave as is because it would not affect the grade of this book. 7.0/7.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I'd be curious how CGC would grade this...not your fault the printer cut them in this way...does it mean there is a copy out there with part of its pages ripped off? Either way, folded in they might have little to no effect (I mean if the book was 9.6-9.8 and had that, maybe it dings it a bit but this book appears to be in the 6.5-7.0 range to begin with).
