| 7.0 - lots of TTS, spine ticks with color breaks, wrinkles, date stamp, crease lines with color breaks 7.5-8.0 with a press, depending on the stain removal process - looks like foxing |

 Still a good looking book, but would not say 8.5. |

| 7.5 on high end. Press might help. @kaptainmyke date stamp is not considered a defect (may be some people don't like the look) |

| just mentioning the date stamp, i do not fault it either - as long as it's date appropriate and not stamped yesterday - all good I did not notice the 3rd middle staple. Move along. Nothing to see here. Amateur stapling. |

| @nikki666666 looks like a 3rd staple, but doesn't look out of place (even though it is odd). Not sure what to make of that - never seen anything like it. If it was a factory/printing error, no foul. If someone rebuilt the book - no good. |

| Checking over ebay listings, I didn't see any with a 3rd staple. If this local seller is asking an 8.5 price I would pass. | ||

| Should not be a third staple unless print defect or someone put it there after the fact, the latter being not good at all.8.5 no way - maybe 6.0 - 6.5 , that staple it is a no from me as well. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by nikki666666 Obvious third staple close to Batman's leg. Also pretty clear that it is an extra staple, not a factory/printing error. By my experience there is no record of a middle staple even being possible from World Color Press comics print run. |

| @nikki666666 I really don't know. If I remember correctly, @Thanatos has a book with extra staples to be graded. Keep us posted on that one man! | ||

| Books from that time period occasionally would be stapled without a cover. Those issues would be re-feed through the machine and emerge with two interior staples and two additional staples that went through the cover and comic. They are not considered a defect and would be noted as extra staples, manufacturing. Also, the only books I can recall seeing with a center staple (and only a center staple) were some issues that were assembled during rationing periods during WWII. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by esaravo And, the saddle-stitching format of bindery is a fixed position, therefore there is no way that a centre-placed staple could come from the binding process. |
