Tom789 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I bought this back in the early 1980s when I was quite naive about restoration. I'm 95% certain this book is trimmed on the long edges of the front and back covers, thus making it not worth grading (to me). But I want to make sure it's not some weird production issue, in which case I would submit it if it's a known issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I don't think that this is worth grading even if it's not trimmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 At least they've done it neatly but the overhang (underhang?) is immediately apparent. That outside edge should have had some good old Marvel chipping to match the ragged cut of the pages so yes it looks trimmed to me. I'd live with it OK but it's not a grading candidate. It does highlight what you later spot going back through a collection gathered over years, decades even! Tom789 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyComics Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Yes, it looks like trimmed in such neat way. Tom789 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
