Chrisgeo1 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hi. I just picked up a nice House Of Secrets 81. This comic has a line of color right through the kids and right above the dog that you can see in the scan. When I look up other photos of this comic I see some that have this line and some that don't. I now know that this is not just a defect on my copy. How would it effect the overall grade in theory? Its a nice comic that should be very nice after pressing. Just wanted some opinions. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisgeo1 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Looking through eBay, I found a few more with this same mark. Could they have been from a different print run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 If you see a few of them, likely a manufacturing defect. I'd put a note to the grader on it to that effect, that you have seen others like it, and send it in. If they consider it a manufacturing defect, it might not hurt the grade too much, if at all. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeypost Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Production related. Wet ink and roller issue IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
