Wow....was that a problem with "King Size" books back then....I seem to see a ton of them with the same off-kilter crapola...

How much do you think a cover tilt like that should reduce from grade?

For some reason this kind of twisted book doesn't bother some people. Each to his own I guess, but to me it is an ugly book and I wouldn't condider it a NM. Grade should NOT be all about structure IMO.

WAIT until I scan the X-Men GS 1 in CGC 9.2 I just received in the mail. The shock and revulsion has to wear off before I look at it again, let alone try putting it on the scanning bed without tearing the entire slab and book into pieces. Book looked GREAT in the postage stamp sized scan. The spine has more twists and turns than a Sidney Sheldon novel! Always a real treat to see the staples sticking right through the paper of the front and back covers on books graded 9.2 also, isn't it? I've seen squarebounds graded 7.0 that put this POS to shame.

I'd rather have my 8.5 copy of that book then this 9.4. Man, that is [!@#%^&^] up.

you've changed for the better man! they're both ugly books, almost as ugly as bob's hulk 162 in CGC NM/MT 9.8, sorry but i wouldn't touch that with "carlos seneca's" roided out shrunken peepee.
