PGM ASM vol2 #36 (high grade, but printer defect?) 0

[ExNihilo]

Looking to gather sigs for this book and have it graded.  It looks pretty high grade with few issues.  However, when prepping the book, I noticed that there appears to be some "printer bleeding" on the lettering on the cover (see last photo).  Instead of crisp white lines, black ink appears to have carried over.  Do you reckon that will negatively impact the grade on the book?  Thanks for the opinions.

I believe you're referring to the black ink that's intruding into the white lettering. I don't think that would be held against you by the graders due to it being a printing error but if you want to play it safe that's still a book you can pick up in NM condition without breaking the bank. I own an ungraded copy myself that I plan to have signed when the opportunity presents itself. Tonight I'll have to pull mine out to see if my book has the same defect.

Nice looking book. Probably 9.4 - 9.6. Printer defects are a fault of the manufacturer and CGC does NOT lower the grade because of them.

Book came back a 9.6 which I'm perfectly happy with.  There weren't any grader notes so I'm only left to assume the black ink in the white letterings dinged it 0.2 points.  Either way, I'm extremely happy with how the book turned out.  I got Stan's sig right in the middle of the cover and it looks pretty decent, which seems to be a rarity these days due to his age and how many books they have him sign.

Congrats!! Did you have it pressed? 

it could have been something as simple as a fingerprint.

I'll get you next time Gadget! Next Time!

Book was not pressed and grader notes did not mention any fingerprints.
