What would you say is the percentage on silver age books from 1965 and up that have a miswrap? I think ASM 93 is the one of the hardest out of the first 100. I've seen only one graded copy that was centered, but haven’t checked out a lot of raw copies. ASM 67 is tough especially considering the amount of graded copies, but I have seen centered copies of it. Maybe 63?

Have you found any of the first 100 difficult to find without miswraps in 9.4 or higher? I primarily collect bronze Spideys and only recently started focusing little bit more on 39 to 100. I had about 40 bronze Spideys in 9.8, but have since sold about 12 of them off. All but my 124, 126, and 195 were nicely centered.

In my experience, 67 is one of the hardest to find perfectly centered, along with 78, 79 and 80. But that really could be said for most of the 15 cent issues, as that was a particularly bad era for miswraps.

My 78...centered...with a uniform 1/16-1/32 white spine line...

My 79 near-perfectly-centered...slight overwrap to the back cover...

My 80 perfectly-centered...

If anything, I am a registration-freak... :headbang:

Spidey 33 is almost ALWAYS miswrapped with the front wrapping to the back, as was almost every single issue from Marvel that came out the same month. FF 48 came out that month too. Kinda obvious Marvel's printer had a lot of problems that month and that they improved it fairly fast, as Spidey 34 (and FF 49) aren't nearly as often miswrapped.
