Grottu Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Wondering what opinions are on this one given what appears to be a manufacturing miscut that caused the cover to wrap around the back too far. Staple placement is also a little strange. At first, I wondered if it had been screwed around with, ie, someone trimmed and/or restapled it but that does not seem to be the case. Interior wraps are in really good shape. Still, I'm unsure how the defects could affect the grade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoggyNelson Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Looks unusual but still probably 4.0 Grottu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicginger1789 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Miswraps are common for the era. I think it’s fine just a printing issue and I think a 5.0-5.5 is quite obtainable here Grottu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Almost every defect discussion in the CGC Guide includes qualifiers about GA (and some SA) comics b/c the manufacturing process was slapdash b/c the books were considered cheap, disposable entertainment. Miswraps like this only count for deductions if the book is in otherwise ≥9.0 condition, which is not the case here. To me this book looks really nice given the age & era. 5.0±0.5 where the different defects along the edges set the grade. Grottu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars76 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Looks like a solid 5.0 Grottu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
