Question: Stray Dogs #115238

This series is super hot right now and thankfully I bought a few raw copies of #1 at cover price. Wondering if the flaw I’m showing in the attached pic is considered a manufacturing error that won’t affect grade. This is my “poorest” copy and it’s perfect other than this. Appreciate the feedback!

is that the cover A cover? If it is, then in my opinion, it isn't a manufacturing error because my copy

didn't have that defect. Hope that helps. Maybe other people can comment if they also had same defect.


BTW congrats on getting several copies of the issue at cover price!

I'm certainly no expert on this but that defect appears a little too pronounced to be a manufacturing error. I've seen what you're talking about, but to me, those are more subtle than yours. I could very well be wrong though.

Thanks for the feedback @ugot2c and @GAC. This is the back of Cover A, and I can confirm that my other copies are much cleaner in the corners than this one. Strangely enough, they were all purchased at the same time (day of release) from the same store, so odd this one has more pronounced damage. Either way, I doubt it’s a press/slab candidate.

Thanks @the420bandito…that’s a great example of the flaw I’m dealing with. Based on the feedback in that thread, I shouldn’t expect anything better than a 9.6 (and likely much lower).

I was thinking expect 9.4. None of my cover As have that.
