Not a spine roll just a miss wrap and the staple placement being what it on this is not uncommon for silver age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a miswrap of course, just used the wrong word. Just googling, none of the other copies of this book have the staples on the front. But my question is, does it not affect the grade?

scburdet Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 a spine roll would be accompanied by the pages having an uphill/downhill stack (i.e. not square like a ream of paper). This is more like a poorly produced copy, which is typical of the era as the earlier poster said. It is not correct to say manufacturing defects don't impact the grade, but they are treated less harshly. Manufacturing defects keep things out of the highest grades and will reduce further depending on how bad they are. The CGC book describes these types of issues pretty well.

MikeTheSpike Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) This video, which calls this issue spine roll, is incorrect? Wouldn't spine roll result in miswrap? Â Edited June 6, 2023 by MikeTheSpike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Look at the back shot of the book at 0:30. Those pages are not square. Yours are. Different type of issue despite some similarity in what the front looks like. I do highly recommend the book:Â https://www.cgccomics.com/news/article/10586/cgc-guide-grading-comics-nelson/ For $30 you can get CGC's definition of everything, and pictures of all the defects, restoration, conservation, etc.. A lot of terminology gets tossed around colloquially, or incorrectly. For example, color rub is one that gets used here, but it's not define by CGC, they just refer to ink loss.
