migmtl76 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hi Guys, Here is my second copy of Avengers 48. I posted my first copy here yesterday and consensus was a 6.0 to 6.5 grade. I'm hoping you guys think this one is a better grade. Also do you think the pages look white? Thanks for your help ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was trimmed how can I tell ? If the staples were replaced lets say I could I tell ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that be a sign of trimming ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migmtl76 Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 Arak Zantara, I have done some research and yes it appears that there is trimming on the right side. Look at this side by side comparison. What do you think guys ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arak Zantara Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 sorry I went to take some pictures and my camera battery was dead... so I did the cell phone. will post in a sec yes yes trimmed. that staple wasn't replaced imo just a weird placement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on left has more black to the right of the banner (see bottom of the page) However on the top the tip of the horse's wing is cut (which is not the cas on the right side) Also, is it possible to have a same book a little less wide than another copy with no trimming ? I will try to find more examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arak Zantara Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 sure anything is possible but that is a very big gap for it to have been production just MHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning in the back some of the front part would show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grilledchease Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Ouch, trimmed. If in doubt use a ruler. Arak Zantara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Ciraulo Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Never seen a trimmed book, at least that I was aware of, but something about this looks off. If it were me I’d just measure it. if interested, check out a similar grading community on Facebook for more feedback: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3017146944965500/?ref=share Arak Zantara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
