| I am looking at this book on eBay. I won't say how much or ask if I should/shouldn't buy it. But, I would like anyone's opinion on this one picture. The way the light is bending in this makes me thing this could be a flaw in the cover near the lower staple. Am I nuts or does it just look off to anyone else? If posts like this are not allowed, I apologize and I will promptly delete.  |

| Hard to tell what is going on. Just pm the seller and see if you can get a better pic. Be prepared for "I don't have any more pics or time to take another". ha | ||

| @drbreaux, really hard to tell, but it actually looks like the art. Find a pic of another copy, and see if it looks the same tho | ||

| @drbreaux Almost certain it’s part of the artwork. |

| I can't even find the damn staple, lol. However, what I do see does look like architecture fading into the curve. | ||

 He sounds like a vegan who wants real mayonnaise to be vegan friendly.

It kind of does because of the lighting. But I cannot confirm it because lighting at certain angles can either hide real flaws or make fake ones.  |

| Thanks to you all! Haven't decided yet...but I have almost talked myself into pulling the trigger on this one. Better to ask forgiveness than permission, eh? | ||

| My Absolute Carnage Bagley cover looks like that at both staples and It came back 9.8. It’s hard to know until you get it, but it could just be from how tight the spine is at the staples on thicker books. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by moodswing Ha, that sounds like me..."sorry man, picture time over". Taking good, well lighted unshadowed pics and uploading them is such a hardship for me. Once I put the camera phone away I'm done. Even taking books out of the bags and scanning them gives me anxiety. |

| The comic is beautiful. It will likely get a 9.8. Good luck! | ||

| You guys were right, book looks to be in fantastic shape. Haven’t taken it out of the bag and board yet b/c I’m paranoid. It is a beautiful cover in person. Thanks all! |
