Fan Boy Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 This Easter weekend on my break, I went to do some bag replacements with my new Comics received from mail all month since. I found one comic book - Archie #132 - had 4 staples. The odd thing is that two staples were stapled off centre and only half of the full pages in there. They aren’t touching the covers either. I haven’t seen like that before. Did inspected on the spine. No holes. See the photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01TheDude Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I thought there was thread on a book like this last year. Similar staple situation and I think most felt it was a production error where the book was first stapled mistakenly without its cover, and then the cover was added to correct the error. That would account for the lack of previous staple holes on the cover itself. That the staples are so offset is somewhat strange as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point (no pun intended) exactly. Coding 154779, modifier 59, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extra staples on the inside, or the outside; sometimes only one staple, or the rarest staple production possibility, no staples at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan Boy Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 I thought it was fun to see what people think of that production error. What I’m wondering if the publishers are still making errors with staples over the years or have they improved with technology? I noticed that in newer comics. Have a good Easter weekend!

FN-2199 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I've had a few of these I've come across in ASM Bronze runs (early 100s). I've only submitted one and that came out to a universal 9.0. I remember reading an online post where Steve Borok said that this will not affect the grading except at the NM+ grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
