DC# Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) There are certain books that seem to have an abundance of bad wraps. And Bronze seem to be the worst of all with Star Wars #1, Iron Man #55, Marvel Spotlight #5, and X-Men #101 being particularly bad. Iron Man #55 may be the worst of all.....I just never see them with a good edge. Marvel Spotlight #5 is not far behind. Or is it just me?

Rip Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) If I had to guess I would say for keys Swamp Thing 1 is near the top for DC bad wraps maybe the top overall toughest key to get a good wrap. For Marvel bronze maybe Marvel Premiere 15 or Ghost Rider 1. For cool covers Cap 253 is an insanely tough book to get a perfect wrap with no white on the edge in any grade. Certainly near or at the all time toughest. On some of the DC 20 centers you have to hope for a slightly oversized issue to get the "20 cent" circle fully in there.

I was gonna say Swamp Thing #1 for sure. Pretty much any of the books with that particular 20 cent logo are prone to having half of it cut off.

FF 48 seems to suffer the opposite challenge those Bronze examples with part of the cover wrapped onto the back. Feels like there are a lot of Hulk #1s with the same issue.

Robot Man Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Not a key to most but if you collect iconic GA GGA covers, try to find one with a full green right edge. Been looking for years and years… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I don’t know if it’s “key enough” but Saga of the Swamp Thing #20 always seems to have a jacked-up wrap. The_Investor and Rip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
