I’ve got a book from 1992. It’s got small notches at the bottom of the first 8 pages. They are evenly spaced and look like they are from a machine. The only reason I worry is because it’s the first 8 pages. The other issue ( which I know is a problem,) is they are also on the cover. Which sucks. I’ll post pics if needed, but I deleted them from my pics. |

@Dealiod those a "gripper" tears....no impact on grade for those interior pages. Never heard of gripper tears on a cover though. Welcome to the forum! |

I agree with GAC, I’ll add that some other manufacturer marks, like roller imprints down the outside spine or slight scratches that occurred during the printing process, maybe where the workers were pulling the stack off the machines…. Those do affect grades. For modern books, you just have to be ULTRA picky and look over the book’s details before you buy it. |

i have a Transformers #8 which had what could only be described as like pen dots on back. but didnt look or feel like like someone took a pet to make dots. so I assume caused during printing. I submitted it to cbcs. graders notes didnt mention such. so I guess depending on what the "damage" is | ||

@Dealiod yup. Those should be good. Mechanical gripper tears should not be an issue. | ||

that's the same book I have with gripper tears. it's currently graded 9.8, but I was scared it wouldn't return the same grade if I sent it in for a signing!!! | ||

Yes asm 361 like every one I ever seen has those marks even the 2nd prints I seen have them it’s a common thing with that comic I am sure there’s other comics that are notorious for having manufacture defects. | ||
