scburdet Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 There's always been a bit of nostalgia with Abomination b/c we had the Power Records book/45 vinyl that was a reprint of Hulk 171. Nice book. Has a date stamp in the "H". Little bit of internal page overhang or whatever you call the pages not being stacked perfectly Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen130 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 The overhang could be spine roll and/or misalignment from production, or a bad cut. Sometimes a press can fix it, sometimes not. 7.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My untrained view is that the misalignment in this one will not be helped. I do have another book to share that I'd like a "presser" to give me their expert opinion.

I was just giving examples of why the pages could look like that. Your copy looks like a combo of misalignment and improper production cut...IMO. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypost Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The alignment of the book can be improved, but not eliminated. It looks like an issue when the book was manufactured. Post a picture of the other book you mentioned. grendelbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars76 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Is that a crease starting at the A for APR in the price box that goes down past Sub-Mariners right arm, or is it just the light reflecting? The colors on this book looks great, if it's not a crease I'd say 8.0. Maybe 7.0 if it's a crease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guy has a strategy when he picks books that's not exclusively based on taking the highest value books first. I have reasonably high grade ASM101 & Dr Strange 169 still waiting in the wings for example. I do know that if I put something Star Wars in the box, it has a better than average chance of being picked Mars76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was therefore able to reexamine. There is a bend here, with a short section that breaks color Edited March 19, 2023 by scburdet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I'm at 7.0 and if mine, wouldn't make any attempt to alter the wrap. It's not quite an Arvel Omics Roup. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
