Production Error or Detached??? 0

[LouBUB81]

Quick question for you guys and gals...

 

Is this a production Error? The staples never seemed to fully come through the centerfold...or does it not matter and it's a Detached?

Going to grading anyway but would rather be prepared for the worse...thoughts?

Anyone with any thoughts?

A pretty common flaw, but as long as nothing is actually detached, this should be OK. I wouldn't suggest putting any additional stress on it, though...

I would heed Lions Den's advice. Only one staple tine penetrated and properly closed atop the centerfold. Enough to hold all the parts together adequately, as it appears. The other staple tine penetrated just 1 page shy of the centerfold but does look like it closed around and is holding the second leaf in from the centerfold. I don't think CGC would note anything on the label if everything is held together firmly, both top and bottom. If they did, it might be the longest label notes ever, "only one tine of top staple penetrated through the centerfold", and on and on and on. The centerfold is not detached and nothing is popped through, so my feeling is no label notes. As Lion noted, I'd leave well enough alone as well.

Thanks for the feedback! If it holds true I may have made out like a bandit! Off to grading as I will just have it cleaned before it goes off to CGC! 🤙🤙👍
