Printing Error - how does it affect grade = New Teen Titans #214080

Suck it up, buttercup!! KatKomics private msg quote post Address this user
Was thinking of sending these in and of course the one I like better (wrap is nicer and slightly darker ink) has a little black dot from the printing process - not colour touch -no bleed through and you can see the pixelization (for lack of a better term) within the dot.

any idea what this does to the grade - was thinking with a press both these could be 9.6/9.8

just dumb luck the 2 I have are news stand!

ps...I've looked on line (ebay) and can't see any others with this dot..although the printing process kind of dictates that there must be a bunch of them out there somewhere!

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
My understanding is that little printing defects like that mean you can't go over 9.8 but otherwise it should grade as-is. But that might be sort of case-by-case?

wow!! found a few on Heritage past sales both CGC

@xkonk guess you are right...no real effect on grade

this was a 9.8




and this one a 9.6..hard to say without notes what else might have dropped it to the 9.6

@BrashSmurf it's funny..I didn't remember there being one, and then some copies have lighter ink and some are just slightly off on the wrap that I almost think if they did have a dot it was on the part of the cover that was cut off!!..and only on news stand issues....haven't seen any dots on the direct!

Newsstand are much more common on this book; even super high grades. This is one of the first books with large direct edition order but newsstand order was even bigger.
