Mathayus Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I picked up a really pretty Avengers #16 from my LCS for a good price and took a gamble on some weird staple placements. I didn’t have it in my collection so I took a gamble anyway. The staples are not in the spine and there is no spot where old ones were. is it a factory error or long ago did someone put them in there? The covers are not detached and there is no evidence of reglueing. thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendelbo Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 No. I've seen quite a few SA Marvels like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicparadox Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 No. Blue. I’ve seen an Avengers 4 that graded CGC 9.4 with even worse staple asymmetry. Fugly book… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
