MattrixAlien Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I know a manufacturing defect doesn't reduce the condition grade. But I'm assuming a wrap defect would reduce the value as people generally want a defect free copy of a book. How much would a wrap defect like the one below generally reduce the value of a book?

marvelmaniac Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Your question cannot really receive an accurate answer since this defect is purely aesthetic, FMV would depend on the buyers viewpoint. Raw books in that condition without the wrap defect are generally selling for $35.00 - $50.00 going by eBay sold auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I would say allot for this book. It's pretty common, so I imagine buyers can be a little more discriminate in the high grade issues. MattrixAlien 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Warren Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I hate wrap defects and avoid them at all times. It therefore takes me a long time to find copies of books I like, especially 70's Marvels with the banner across the top that only seems to be perfectly straight about 20% of the time. I'd rather have spine ticks than a slanted wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revat Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 It would depend on the grade of the book otherwise as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
