Februus Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Just for fun give me your thoughts on how you would grade. ( I have my assumption) … it’s a bit of a train wreck. You won’t hurt my feelings. Had a couple pics on my phone so that’s the best I can do. Bought this a few years ago. I inquired about the miscut. He got it from the original owner who said that’s how it was. Everything is very securely attached and the only issue inside is in the photo. The miscut does not affect any of the panels ( which is hard to believe ) there is more to this story but I will save it for later Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I'm guessing it's more than a miscut, it's been trimmed both at the top and right edge. And that right edge is not a micro trim, it's a major trim. And then the clipped panel unfortunately makes it incomplete. I usually always leave a grade, but I'm not honestly sure how to grade this one. No matter the grade it's still JIM85 and is a great comic Edited February 27, 2022 by gadzukes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 The book looks trimmed. I'm going to say 1.0 Restored. Here's a couple of books to support my grade. Thanks for sharing. It'll be interesting to read other takes. @zzutak gadzukes and Februus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Teacher Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 I agree that the right edge looks trimmed. My guess is 1.0 - 1.5 Restored. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Februus Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Want to say thanks to everybody for the input.. when I first saw this book I thought it was trimmed.. mainly cuz the edge is so sharp. Pretty poorly done as well, but I did some digging and I found numerous examples of early Marvels that had some weird production cuts. Here’s one I saw recently.. not exactly the same but you can see the similarities.. it’s could be someone cut it … I honestly can’t tell for sure.. I will submit it for screening and will let you know if you’re interested. With the piece missing i automatically thought it was gonna be a .5 incomplete at best. If for some chance I can get a standard label at a 1.0 I would be pretty happy with that. Of course it would be “incomplete” in any case @grendelbo Edited March 8, 2022 by Februus grendelbo and Funnybooks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
