My Avengers #47 has me on the... edge 1 1

[letsgrumble]

Just looking for an opinion re a book I bought in a lot over 15 years ago (just getting to it now ).

Does this book look trimmed to you?

Thanks!

On the positive side, the comics code seal looks to be a decent distance away from the edge.  Sometimes a bit of it is clipped when trimmed, or unusually snug to the edge. 

On the negative side, the page edges do look a bit ragged.  Did you measure the width and compare to a book published at a similar time?

That’s a factory edge!  Those undulations on the outside are probably from a dull blade during manufacturing.

Just not sure if my eyes are playing tricks on me. Here's a book I'll compare it to:

This is #47 laying on top of #50:

About 2 mm difference in width between the two:

Thank you! That is the work of a dull blade alright! 

Hate having doubt about any books in my collection!

No, the notches and imperfections on the pages matches the same on the cover so it looks fine.

I have had several copies and all were miscut like yours. It seems like a common production flaw. Yours should be fine.

Phew -- thanks guys!
