Chudders Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Hi all, I received a minimal dress and trade dress Momoko Variant for Batman Adventures #2 from Forbidden Planet this week. On receiving them both I immediately noticed that the inner pages were protruding 5-6mm beyond the card stock cover. What is this type of flaw called and what impact does it have on grade? I assume this must be a production error of some sort. Other than this the books are in great shape. It does have a first appearance in it, so wondering if it would be best to replace? Thanks for any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 When I have a production related question, I check other copies of the same issue for comparison. A quick look at a bunch of sold and listed copies on Ebay appear to have the same "flaw" so probably not really a flaw if that all books came out the same way.

Ace Bandage Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I've seen several 9.8's (not of this specific ) with this kind of underhang. I have 1-2 myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen130 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Not really a factor. I have numerous card stock covers being graded and most of them have a similar look to one degree or another. It shouldn’t affect the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
