Cnight Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Got a Werewolf by Night 32 that I’m looking to buy, but found this one defect that I can’t figure out. Does anyone have any insight? It looks like some color lift or printer line? Lord, I hope it’s not wear 😭. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowGradeBronze Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) I'd be more concerned about the chunk out the top of the spine!!! That line isn't worth worrying about. What grade has been assigned to this copy? And by which company? Edited June 11, 2023 by LowGradeBronze Cnight and bighairjer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypost Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 CGC holder. Top issue could be bindery related and the rest looks like it could be a combination of dirt and a scratch Randall Dowling and Cnight 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnight Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 Top is bindery related; a lot of 9.6’s and 9.4’s have that same defect I found. This one is a 9.4 by CGC; graded in December 2020. I was originally alarmed by it as well, but saw it on quite a few other high grade copies (also: the grader notes make no mention of it, but do call out some other things on the book).

Cnight Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 Owner says he thinks it’s a scratch, plus: it looks like VERY VERY small bits of paper are missing when zooming in on the pic I took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 If the price is right then consider buying, otherwise there are likely superior CGC 9.4's. What does the rest of the book look like? Cnight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point: This one has quite a bad mis-wrap so there will doubtless be better presenting examples. Cnight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnight Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 Here ya go folks! Find the pictures below! As far as the price goes: they are asking too much at listed price but they are really eager to sell it (they bought it from comic link when the price was much higher). Grader notes are below, but it’s weird there is no mention of the scratch/dirt line nor the binding chunk missing. spine stress lines very small crease left top of back cover very small crunch left top of back cover very small, very light bend left center of back cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
