MARK_BA Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hello, I am new to this forum and I had a question. I recently picked up an amazing spiderman 800. It is a very thick book as I am sure you all know. The staples in the spine did not go all the way through and there are 2 loose pages in the middle of the book, that the staple never went through. You can easily remove the pages, there are no holes in them. Is this a common problem on thick issues? Does this ruin any worth of the comic book?

The Lions Den Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 You would probably be looking at a green label... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not A Clone Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Yea, Marvel's current over-sized books are full of defects. Usually they have bindery tears on the bottom corner. If you just purchased this, I would check into a return & swap it out. There's a very good chance they have plenty more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you bought this in person, you need to be proactive and inspect the book before buying. You do not want to submit this book, take it back from where you bought it.

MARK_BA Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 it is actually 1 loose page. it was never unfolded, therefore it never got stapled and the other side is actually out of order. this would not be considered and error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARK_BA Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 how bad is a cgc green label? basically worthless? what if its a green label because it is unwitnessed autographs? would it be better to not get it slabbed than to have a green label?

It's a very common brand new book, so yeah it's pretty much worthless. Sending this to CGC would be a waste. A green label on a new book wouldn't be good unless you've grown attached to it in this short time and want to preserve it forever. Get a refund, exchange it, buy another one. Any of those would be a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FN-2199 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Bindery tears on these books due to cheap paperstock = OK Loose pages = BAD, get a refund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
