Kevin76 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Dude, it's not trimmed, you're just uneducated about print quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Don't know how they tell but I had a similar cut of a book and I also asked the boards. The consensus was that it was not trimmed. Turns out... it was not trimmed upon being graded by CGC. Edited August 4, 2022 by Buzzetta The Lions Den, silverseeker and Funnybooks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qalyar Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 If anything, those fanned pages make me think trimming is less likely than my original take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unclear what clarity you're seeking beyond that answer. Is there some decision you're trying to make about this comic?

Dick Pontoon Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 It does not appear trimmed based on that edge. We've had input in this thread from a former CGC employee, a fellow who's worked in the printing business for years, and numerous other folks who've been collecting for decades and/or dealing with high value, high grade CGC books plus someone who often likes to be contrary. (Sorry, Bill.) I'd go with the consensus in this case. The Lions Den, grendelbo, silverseeker and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to recreate that on a book and being consistent with all of the interior pages would be basically impossible unless you had the original dulled cutting blade from the factory and were cutting into exceptionally fresh paper. Everyone who collects silver age Marvels has seen dozens or even hundreds of production cuts like this. It's perfectly normal. silverseeker, Topnotchman and The Lions Den 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverseeker Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Put me in the "not trimmed" camp as well... It just looks like a rough production cut, and I would not hesitate to buy a book with this type of cut for my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
