This one probably has a little something for everyone to hate. Mis-wrap, Slanted MCG bar across the top, Grease pencil date and a printing error that makes the cover look sun-faded. Probably explains why I paid about $20 raw for it. I guess I will have to sell it to a collector in China or something:

I was shocked when I looked at my recent grades and saw 8.5. I guess because I mostly grade on eye appeal, I just assumed the grade was much lower.

And Hulk 181 was $16 if you look closely. Clearly there are many errors in that book.

@southerncross - I didn’t think that still happened. Here’s a SA X-Men with double staples (manufacturing).

@southerncross - I read that it used to happen when the machine that assembled and stapled the parts ran out of covers. The stapled copies without covers were then put through the last process again.

@southerncross @esaravo I had (maybe have?) a New Mutants 87 that was manufactured with four staples but took a grade hit because two had been removed.

@xkonk that's bad removing them.
Feel sad that some collectors can't leave their books alone. And this goes for the dealers as well.

Honestly, when i looked at the wrap flaws you mentioned i realize that the header slant didn’t jump out at me, i am guessing because the artwork (the mix od black and white) optically cover for the flaw unlike the more solid coloring behind the Silver Surfer 1 header and footers.

@southerncross well, depending on how the extra staples were placed, I could see it being hard to read the book. But if someone took them out just because they were extra, I agree.
