Hi

This is the customer service section, and they will answer your question, as they check in daily.  I do not know the answer.  Sorry.

Hello,

Cover flaring, also known as Butterfly, is a defect where the cover separates from the interior pages due to uneven moisture exposure, can also involve interior pages. Typically found in improperly pressed books or those exposed to moisture over time, it manifests as curling towards the more moist side. Identified by holding the comic up by its spine to observe if the cover and pages fan open, the severity depends on the degree of fanning and curling. While light flaring has minimal impact and is allowable in 9.6 or 9.8 grades, extreme cases can lower the grade to 9.4 or 9.2.

Thanks for checking!
