Comicbook cover bleed thru ?3187

Collector vabchgent private msg quote post Address this user
I have a question on comic book bleed thru, how much does it reduce the value of the book. I have a Secret wars #8 and front and back cover, show Ink on the first pages both sides. Other wise the book is stupendous. Thanks in advance

I would be more worried whether it has color touch than the grading if shows ink

I don't think he is talking about "bleed through". I think he means transference. As in, ink from the cover transferring to the 1st and last newsprint pages.

@vabchgent correct?

That might be able to be dry cleaned off.

As far as grade drop, it's a very good question! I havent a clue.

And is that actually Mike Zecks signature, That would be an added bonus. Would have to have it validated.Thanks

@shrewbeer Thanks bonus then, the dealer that sold it to me must not have seen the signature. I noticed it while looking at the pages.

@vabchgent - here's that book with a Zeck (and Beatty) autograph for comparison.

Did the ink transfer from the cover?

I saw an issue of Flaming Carrot where the ink on the cover had yellowed the first page where they'd made contact. The ink used was evidently acidic.

As a collector, I wouldn't mark down the grade for something done at the printer. If it was an age or a storage issue, I would.
