	Misaligned covers are very commonly misidentified as spine roll. If a book appears to be flat and not handled or read you have a misaligned cover. As mentioned this was VERY, VERY common before the later 1990's. Spine roll comes from handling a reading and is usually accompanied by wear that obviously shows the book was handed and read a lot. The spine often will not sit flat or be very tight and the leading pages will be fanned out like the example above. Before the 10 point scale miswraps would count against the grade now, depending on the era and severity they are not weighted as much .... either rightly or wrongly. It's all a part of the infamous and ridiculous sliding scale that third party graders use. Selling a book like this raw most people would count this against the grade once in a slab the weight drops consirably but it may not sell as fast if put beside another copy in similar condition but without the miswrap.

	Yeah, that's a miswrap. Reminds me of an X-Men 24.

Have seen many, many two-cent comics courtesy of the "ARVEL OMICS ROUP."
