lostboys Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Book is a graded 9.4 There's what looks to be ink on the letters U and E. This has to be a manufacturer defect ...right? I'm thinking if it's writing, it would get the purple label treatment. Am I correct? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's writing, it would simply be considered a "handling defect", counting against the comic book's grade, not restored. lostboys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has very light spine roll so I don't think it's been pressed. There's one color break on the spine but otherwise it's a sweet copy. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Yes it's MFG defect. Ink blots are common defects. The printing foreman will notice it and orders to cease the printing machine until the ink foundation or plates are cleaned off. marvelmaniac and lostboys 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
