mims4321 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) I bought a copy of air pirates funnies #1 I am considering grading. Overall I would say (as an amateur) it’s in the 5’s, but this front cover stamp has me more confused. It looks like someone stamped their name into it. It is a raised stamp almost like a notary stamp that leaves an impression on the paper. Has anyone seen this before or know of any other instances of this happening? Is it worth a grade still? thanks! photos attached Edited April 7, 2022 by mims4321 More descriptive grendelbo and The Lions Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Certainly is still worth a grade. More elegant and distinctive then just a name in pen on front cover. I like a book to tell its history like that, cool. mims4321, The Lions Den and Hutch88 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lions Den Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 That shouldn't affect the grade for a book in this grade range... mims4321, steveinthecity and grendelbo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William-James88 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Beautiful book. And don't worry, that stamp won't affect the grade when it's midgrade The Lions Den and mims4321 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I have never seen that on a comic book before. mims4321 and The Lions Den 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
