MARK_BA Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 so I have a transformers 3 black spidey cameo. during the staple process, it never got a top staple. there is no tear and there is no hole. Is it impossible to even get a 9.0, being that its a factory mistake? KobaltDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revat Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I think yes, you could get a green label (qualified) 9.0 IF its VERY clear is was produced without the staple. I'd say for more in depth and accurate analysis, contact CGC directly and ask them how they think it will be handled and what your options are. On a side note, hopefully this question was more out of curiosity than anything else. Even if you hit a blue label 9.0 (which won't happen), you likely would not recover the cost of grading the comic, not to mention its not really that hard to get a copy of the comic WITH all the staples, especially in 9.0 (I get that 9.6 and 9.8 are worth much more). Of course, if there's sentimental value and/or money is no object to you, please grade away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetaHuman Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) I have an UXM #266 (1st full Gambit) that was printed without a top staple. It's a CGC 9.6 blue label.

I don't even think they downgrade for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, the extra staple has introduced new holes. If removed, it usually gets a Green Label or a hammered Blue Label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
