I would love to see some customer reviews from this company!


I don't believe they count it as trimming when they cut the page out of the book. I think they would be referring to the other three sides.

Yeah, let's tear up every comic!

What is going on that people would do this to their favorite books?

I guess I am just old.


I'd say that someone had a lower grade copy of a sought after book with something missing from it like a centerfold or it had no cover. They looked at the potential of selling it off whole vs pages and weighed the potential income doing either way. If they could make more money grading and selling pages from it than selling it whole I can see them selling it piecemeal. I wouldn't agree with it but with the prices being as stupid as they are in today's market I can see it happening. Well, it is happening.

Just the never ending pursuit of manufactured value. Although to be completely fair, I remember hearing some people say the same thing when you first introduced slabbing, lol.


No, it's not fair.
Huge difference between protecting a book in a holder and tearing them up. Huge.


But in fairness it might be a way for the "But you can't read the comic book anymore" collectors to finally embrace comic book encapsulation.

I just love the irony of amputating a page and then inspecting it for trimming.
