New to Grading, Batman Adventures #12 2 2

[Darth Nikon]

Need some help from the community!  Can not tell if this is spine stress or printer defects.  The rest of the book looks amazing other than 2 small color breaking ticks on the front cover.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you

Sorry didn’t realize the other photos did not upload.

Still missing the base of the spine and bottom right corner. Sorry to be picky but if full accurate assessment is requested, then full pics are required. We don't want to have to assume all is well in the unseen parts of the comic. Base of spine is where we may find bindery or other defects and corners are typically first to get dinged.

The base of the spine is perfect as well as the bottom two corners.  The problem area I think is the top of the spine in the first photo

This is typical of 'straight off the press'. Moderns tend to suffer from these colour breaks on the spine. It's just the paper and/or cover gloss used. When it's wrapped and stapled that's what happens. How CGC view this is probably as typical manufacturing issue so won't affect grade (around 9.4 or 9.6 in this case) unless the spine starts to split. Other boardies will have more insightful and technical narrative to add to this. Hope this helps though

9.4 thereabouts. 

Thanks for posting.

The slight fraying on the edge probably keeps this capped at 9.6
