| I just received my 4 book set of ASM 800 Hughes variant. The top and bottom corners are split on all the books. Not too happy about it considering the set cost 135.75 shipped. Did anyone else have this problem? | ||

| The entire asm800 run has this issue. Marvel are idiots, this is a 96 page comics and should have been bound like a trade paper back. Any asm800, reg or variant has this issue. You can still get 9.8 as this is a known issue |

| Unless you ordered a 9.8 cgc/cbcs copy, then you're likely going to have these defects. MI'm curious if even the slabbed 9.8s have these issues. | ||

| Yes Cgc and cbcs have issued 9.8s with split ends. Since 95% of the books have this they are not holding this against the grading as it’s poor binding |

| Surprised a split book still gets a 9.8 regardless of the cause. | ||

| That's bad.. The split books should not be getting 9.8 I asked little giant if any of the shattered dont have the defect. "almost all have bindery defect" If those with spine splits are getting 9.8 books without should be getting 9.9 Ridiculous |

| He does have this posted on his site: KNOWN PRODUCTION ISSUES We're honest! Before you buy, we want you to know that the entire print run of ASM #800, both retail copies and retailer exclusives, suffers from production imperfections to the spine and corners. These imperfections are typical with bigger books (ASM #800 has 96 pages). Our print run is no exception and presents some of the issues found on other ASM #800 copies. Our print run is not significantly damaged and does not qualify for an extensive re-print. We have extensively reviewed our inventory for quality and selected the best possible copies to fulfill orders placed on our web store. While we are shipping quality stock, note that you may still find some issues with corners and spines. These known issues are present on all copies to various degrees. |

| Yeah, as mentioned in another thread, these should have all been printed prestige format... price covered it even given the page count. Not really an excuse. By saying "prestige" and using a standard UPC, it keeps it classified as a normal comic, rather than a graphic novel, which can have fewer pages, actually. It's all just in the wording. Stinks! I got one regular and one Ramos variant, and both have the same defects, but I knew they would, so I'm annoyed, but far from surprised. |

| Same thing happened with ASM 700 as well as ASM 1 (vol. 3). I had several copies graded 9.8, be it standard copies or retailer exclusives. They all had binding issues at the corners. It is a manufacturing defect and just a result of Marvel not using a thicker/heavier card stock for the cover. IMO, because it was a $10 book, and should have had a thicker cover. DC is know ln for putting thicker/heavier card stock on their covers of books containing more pages. But people will get 9.8’s with the bindery issues. |
