is this a printing defect?

[ross]

I have attached a Journey into Mystery that I purchased as a 9.0 a while back. I was very happy with the comic, to me it looks at least 9.0, plus is very bright and glossy.

 

Execpt for the white dots that run along the bottom of the front cover. Are those from a printing defect? It does not look like danage to the comic, but I don't know. Has anyone seen this before? How much does CGC count off for this sort of thing?

 

I don't know how to "host" it, so if someone could post the comic for all to see, that would be great.

 

Thanks,

 

Ross

If you can zoom in on them a bit, I may be able to tell if it is or not.

I can't see what you're describing very clearly in that scan.

Just copy paste the URL of the image into the box after clicking "image" in the UBB code area.

Along the bottom of the cover, from left to right parallel to "mightier than ever!"

 

I can see it in the post now that it's hosted.

just got the PM, I was filling out a submission form for CGC

 

THANKS FOR THE HELP

 

what do you think about the defect?

If I had to guess I'd say some color loss from something rubbing against the book...

It looks like the same defect as this thread...

If so, read the answer there.

If not, give a better scan so I can see it more clearly.

 

If that's the defect, CGC does not seem to be very hard on it.

I've seen some high grade books (9.4) with this defect.
