PGM Amazing Spider Man #238 1 1

Hello all,

various issues here..spine tics, soft corners, color breaking dog ear TRFC, as well as something stuck to hobgoblins head very noticible in pic 2.

biggest glaring issue is the tape on top staple. Top staple is attached, however it is loosely connected to the “tattooz” insert as I heard through the grapevine CGC will recognize this and green label as if it was added after. 
 

any thoughts or comments are appreciated. Thanks to all in advance!

Tearing is kinda gnarly. 4.0/4.5

Thanks. In your experience and with your knowledge is there anyway to tell for certain this would get a green label or do you see it getting a universal?

No basis for a Qualified label on this one. Those are reserved for unverified signatures, damage that is not obvious that doesn't impact the story (cut coupon, MVS, removed Tattooz, etc.), something unusual like a significant production defect (I have one "manufactured without staples") or a book is mostly perfect but has a significant defect that would warrant a lower grade (you rarely see staple detachments with green labels b/c somehow they detached without causing any real damage). The staple detachment here is not like that last case. As long as the tattooz is in the packet, Universal label. If the tattoo is missing, then it probably would get a green 4.0/4.5 to just denote that it was missing.

I trust your knowledge and appreciate your time to explain it to me
