Stapled on the Wrong Side of the book 1 1

[RickKindel]

Question how does this "error" effect grading? I did a quick search in the forum and didnt see anything..

 

It looks as if the book might have been sent down the production line upside down/backwards -- look at the secret wars #2 - if laying correctly with staples on the left (thumbnail image1)- the book opens from the back cover, if you look at the photo with the front cover (thumbnail image 0) - the book was stapled on the right side.

I dont think i have seen anything like it and how it impacts the grading -- I really would like to grade it as the error but would hate to get  a super low grade on a production error

Great Question!

Congrats on the find! First, I would like to confirm that, except for missing parts, printing errors such as this do not affect the grade of a comic. But, depending on the grade and severity of the error, the book may receive a qualified grade. Either way, this error would be noted on the label. As for the exact terminology that would be used, we would need this in-house to confirm with our graders. I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions!

Thank you for the quick and comprehensive answer.  I am going to see about getting these sent in then.  I appreciate it!
