The reason is not the trimming. It is the fact that the IH 181 is missing the MVS and so it is considered incomplete. The GSX is coverless but otherwise complete

(Covers / Coverless / Single Wraps or Pages)

These designations are only used for the purpose of authentication. Numerous collectors and comic fans will purchase coverless comics to either read or to obtain a filler copy of a book for their collection.

Books that are coverless, but are otherwise complete, will receive a grade of 0.3 from CBCS as will covers missing their interiors.

Coverless copies that have incomplete interiors, wraps or single pages will receive a grade of 0.1 from CBCS as will just front covers or just back covers.

I don't think it's singled out (although I'm no expert on the topic). It's just wildly the most important book that had the stamp.

It is the most important but that still doesn't explain why that book seems to have the MVS cut out more than others. I get that IH181 is probably slabbed more than any other bronze age key so we're going to hear about the cut out MVS. But WBN34 1st Moon Knight is a pretty big bronze age key and I've never seen one missing a MVS....maybe it doesn't even have one. It just seems MVS removals are monopolized by IH181 and I find that strange.

WBN #34 is not the first appearance of Moon Knight, #32 is. However, neither issue were printed with a Marvel Value Stamp

I agree, there’s just more attention paid to the #181 than other popular or desirable books that had stamps. I think Astonishing Tales #25 might be the closest contender, excluding Hulk #180. It might be interesting to make a top ten list or similar.

	@CaptainCanuck Yes, sorry, typo, thanks. It would be interesting to know which books had MVS to see if for some reason IH181 has a higher rate of cut outs. I'm assuming these stamps were cut out during or near the time of release. Certainly no one is cutting them today or within the last 30 years atleast, I hope.

I can’t imagine that IH #181 would have a cut-out rate higher or lower than other titles relative to total copies sold, but here’s a list of the Series “A” stamps: http://mvstamps.blogspot.com/p/marvel-value-stamps-issues-checklist.html Thanks!! Yeah, makes no sense that it would. After seeing that list, I agree, IH181 is clearly the most important book and would be the book most slabbed hence increased word of cut outs. Thanks!!
