Production flaw? 1 1

[jeffffffs]

This copy of Godzilla #1 has an small extra flap of paper along the top left edge.  It appears that the book was not cut properly, and several of the interior pages also have the same mis-cut.

Would this affect grading?

It all depends on the overall grade the book would receive, in order to give you any opinions on the top edge/interior pages affecting the grade we need to know how the entire book looks so an overall grade can be assigned.

I would suggest posting clear pics of the front/rear outside covers along with pics of the spine/staples, inside front/rear covers and splash pages and the centerfold in the ...

Just looking at your pic I already see a bindery tear/spine split starting so just on that your grade will not be any higher than NM- 9.2.

As far as Bindery Defects by themselves go... (Overstreet/Heritage Auctions)

NM+ 9.6 - Only subtle bindery or printing defects are allowed. No bindery tears are allowed,

NM 9.4 - Subtle bindery/printing defects are allowed. Bindery tears must be less than 1/16" on Silver Age and later books

NM- 9.2 -  A limited number of minor bindery/printing defects are allowed. 

VF/NM 9.0 - A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. 

VF 8.0 - A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. 

FN/VF 7.0 - A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. 

FN 6.0 - Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. 

VG/FN 5.0 - An above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed. 

Printing Defect - A defect caused by the printing process. Examples would include paper wrinkling, mis-cut edges, mis-folded spine, untrimmed pages, off-registered color, off-centered trimming, mis-folded and mis-bound pages. It should be noted that these are defects that lower the grade of the book.
