cchunn3 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 In my research I have come across a couple terms I'm not absolutely sure about. "Feathering" - I assume this is when the edge of the pages get slightly fuzzy? "Ticks" - (spine ticks) from usage, I assumed this was the small creases that creep into the cover from the spine being stressed. I started using the term but I wanted to clarify. Is a "tick" just a fleck of color or does it include the crease snaking away? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some terms may be adopted from book collecting, so are just in the zeitgeist. I haven't seen the term "color rub" used in the CGC book for example, but it's pretty ubiquitous. The book calls this either ink loss or scuffing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
