I picked up Legend of Zelda #1 9.8 today. I got a really good price. However, I noticed the bottom left corner has what I believe to be a binary tear. I looked at multiple other Zelda comics online and noticed many of them had something similar. Either in the upper corner or lower corner. Maybe 80% of the books I saw seemed to have a binary tear; some better, some worse. Is this acceptable for a 9.8? How common are these? Should I return this to the seller? Otherwise book is flawless. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Homeboy It's book/print run dependent, but in general, quite common. I don't know specifics of the particular comic you have shown, but for comics like ASM #800 it was nearly ubiquitous. I probably would not return. |

Quote:Originally Posted by etapi65I’d keep it; especially if you got a good deal on it. I’m not sure on this specific book, but bindery tears are more common on larger books due to how thick they are. As long as it’s from production it’s not a problem. |

| Thanks all for the input. I grew up collecting baseball cards and having sharp corners was the most important attribute. So having a comic with this condition is alittle jarring. | ||

| Actually, I'm glad this was asked. I was actually wondering about this myself as I had a few that I was afraid may not make the grade if I sent it in. | ||
