lostboys Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Quick question. Im shopping around for a nice UXM 130 and ive noticed that most copies have a weird decect/tear at the top of the font cover, along the white line of cover art. Is it a tear from being pulled during manufacturing?...kind of like the bottom of most copies of ASM 361? Not all copies have it but Im seeing many high grade copies that do. Thanks.

Sal Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Are you talking about the white line just above the "O" in Marvel Comics Group? That's part of the artwork; it's a white line that you can see continuing through the logo and finishes pointing at her disco ball necklace charm thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out some copies on Ebay and youll see what im saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 It's a common defect in that book. I'm unsure how CGC handles it as I mostly avoid Dazzler books. Roller-skating disco queens weren't fan favorites back then. It was almost as if they decided to take everything the fan base disliked, roll it into a character, and force-feed it on the public.
