Is that manufacturing error? Or what is it? The horizontal line. How would it impact grade

Look at her hairline.  Runs horizontal across whole book.

Kinda resembles a printers crease but its such a fine line so probably not a crease. Can you see anything on the inside of the cover? If its a printing error of some sort I don't think it affects the grade unless you're in the NM range.

Per other posts there are boardies with CGC 9.8 with printer creases.  I do think the inside shows it too. And there is no color break in the line.  Obviously I don't think this is a 9.8 I am not too sure on the grade.

Well then I think you answered your own question.

Why 6.5? The printer crease does not hurt the grade.

Wear at all 4 corners, bottom right edge wear. Small crease top left cover, color breaking spine dings. 

And as I can’t see the back cover I was being conservative. I suppose it could go 7.5

A "printer's crease" is a double misnomer. The printer, nor his machinery create that. A print line, which this is, is part of the printing process and is created during the books production.

To clarify, what most, or what has generally been accepted as a "printer's crease" occurred before the printer received the roll of paper that is fed through the printer. It's not a crease, it's a tight fold, more of a pleat than a crease. It's an imperfection that occurs in the manufacturing process of the paper before it ever gets to the printer. Amazing Spider-man 67 is  particularly prone to this.

+1. 7.5 looks about right, and the print line is not a contributing factor in this grade sector.

Interesting fact. Kind of like calling a comic good. I'll have to check out the ASM 67s. I know ASM 33 is known for its marvel chipping.

This is still an attractive looking book!

Could be a roller mark that happened when the inks were still soft. Very common on books like Amazing Adventures #11

Look by the beasts open hand and the Logo.

I recently sold a HOS 92 with same horizontal line, it was cgc 7.0.  While doing research I did notice other HOS 92 with horizontal line, not sure if it was graded down for it.

A printing defect like that usually will not affect the grade, same as printer creases unless they are extremely horrible or too many to make the book look unappealing.
