Jon1004 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 So I bought a copy of Thor 134, and on the outside it looks like a normal book staples are placed correctly in the right place. Then I open the cover and on the inside are the two normal staples one bottom one top corner then right underneath the bottom staple on the inside is another third staple. The staple didn't pierce the outside cover cus there is no holes. So what is this. Please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One image showing the crown and one showing the legs/teeth. The legs/teeth I’m assuming are visible in the centerfold, yes?

The staple didn't pierce the outside cover cus there is no holes. So what is this. Please help This has been explained in the past but here's the short version. As the interiors are printed separate from the covers, sometimes the process to combine them don't work out well and the printers have to manually combine the covers, as they have a quota of books to do and they can't afford to scrap the ones which didn't have the covers put on correctly. Yours is probably one of them. If grading, CGC will give it an universal grade assuming nothing else is present to warrant another label. xoxo greggy The Lions Den, silverseeker, grendelbo and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
