crazyhips Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Hi everyone: My copy of Batman 235 has two bottom staples showing at the centerfold but only one bottom stable showing on the outside of the cover while the inside front page of the cover appears to show the second staple and possibly some rust.

Lazyboy Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 It occasionally happens that a book gets stapled without a cover and the cover has to be attached with a second set. It appears that the top interior staple was removed. The Lions Den and crazyhips 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I've had 2 comics like this in all my years collecting. One was a TTA 27. It's somewhat frustrating, because you know it's a manufacturing mistake, but any potential buyer thinks it's a married cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I put it up on ebay with a lengthy explanation about the manufacturing error and was able to sell it unslabbed. Phew! telerites 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
