Comic with one staple 0

[Gazhands]

I was thinking of submitting a comic but it only has one staple. It was not produced with two as there are no holes at all where the second staple should be. Does this effect the grade or is it judged on its individual circumstances?

many thanks

I don't think it affects the grade but it will be noted on the label.

Also many Golden Age publishers went to a single staple during the WW2 years and some continued the practice a few years after the war ended. These are seen to be normal manufacture.

It does not affect the grade, if it was manufactured with only one staple.

Just adding a little bit to what others have said
 

During WW II,  a lot of comics were printed with one staple as part of the effort to save metal.  When a comic book is intentionally printed with one staple, that staple is in the middle of the spine.  

Sometimes a book accidentally gets printed with only one staple. A printing defect. The single staple in this case will be at the top or bottom just like normal - but the opposite staple is missing.

While we are all assuming it is a golden age book...is it?

As others have said.  If it should have 2 staples but only manufactured with 1 it will be noted on the label such as the 9.8 copy a buddy of mine recently received on a modern with the following grader note:
"Manufactured w/ot top staple"
