MM65 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Hi guys. My question concerns my Iron Man #1. It was manufactured with only the bottom staple. There was never a top one. No holes whatsoever. The book itself is in very good condition otherwise. Does anyone know how the staple issue will effect the grade it will receive? Anyone else have experience with this situation? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 If it was manafactured without a staple, it will be considered a production error and won't impact the grade. Pizza Boy and ThothAmon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 But will need treating with added care as all the strain is on the one! (Which you know already, so forgive my OCD kicking in there!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickledude Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Has this been verified by CGC?? I have the same exact problem with a Fantastic Four #57. Top Staple was never in the book. No holes. I need a guarantee from CGC on this prior to submission. Edited March 7, 2023 by Pickledude ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guarantees they make when you submit aren't much more substantial. Foolish Mortal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some drywall tape that had popped re-taped. As he was leaving the drywaller told me his work was guaranteed until he walked out the door.
