Popular Post Straw-Man Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 if they properly noted it, somebody might buy the book to marry the back cover to an incomplete tip-top they've been sitting on.

pemart1966 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Seems as if Heritage missed it too... I'm very surprised that that didn't grade between 7.5 and 8.5...

szav Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) If this is the original owners copy what incentive did a kid that age have to marry the wrong back cover to a book like that? Seems a bit odd and out of place to me. Or maybe it was common practice for kids to cut things up just to keep the cover attached to the book dunno. Kinda cool to see the ‘tape’ has the faint image that says eagle stamps. That’s a real makeshift patch up anyway. Also yes, shame on CGC… again.

Popular Post Robot Man Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 I have bumped into stuff like this from time to time. Kids read the heck out of their books until the covers split and detach. They then try to match them up often unsuccessfully. Heck, I’m sure I did it myself…as a kid. Very troubling to see this happen by a business who’s responsible for preventing this. And, then passing through the hands of probably the largest auctioneer of comic books in the business. Really shakes my confidence in both businesses. BAD things going on in our “hobby” these days. Not a good thing for our long term future.
