| @Scorpion That’s the way the square bound books were stapled. |

| Covers are not stapled on Giant size comics. They are glued on. | ||

| I paid 450 for the book, he was oblivious about the price not being there, so I don’t think that the price was erased and touched up, doesn’t make sense | ||

| Did you ask where the seller got the book? It could be that (s)he bought it unaware of any doctoring. |

| @Batman66 look for the gloss. If there is no gloss on the cover where the price would’ve been, someone erased it. If there is gloss, I would have to assume error or fake | ||

| To add a link, just highlight some words and click on the "link" button. Then paste the link in the pop-up box and click "okay." Here is your listing. Based on the close-up picture I would agree with others, the price was erased for some reason, back in the day. Maybe the guy wanted to sell it for $1.00 and didn't want people to complain? Anyway, looks like a couple marks where the edges of the "5" should be. |

| This is from the sellers discription... "Just got a copy of Giant size X-men 1!! Covers have indentations and needs a press. Pages are off white/white. Has a small pen mark on the indictta blocking out the price. Staples are firm. Please message me with any questions BEFORE you buy, thanks" "Has a small pen mark on the indictta blocking out the price" That says it all. I would stay away from this one! |

 Looks like it was "whited out" and then a black pen, which bled, was used under the "1" horizontally and then vertically to just above the "cc". |

| Not only does the price look rubbed off, but also part of the line (border) was accidentally removed and crudely redrawn. This has restoration written all over it. | ||

| Why didn't you ask these questions before you bought it? "I was afraid someone else might get it before me" isn't a reasonable answer. Honest, but not reasonable. |
