Rough outside spine 1 1

[Robert Ortiz Sr Collection]

I just got a new book that just came out. I was thinking of sending it in to get graded but the cover on the seem is rough from the bottom half way up its not bad to my point of veiw. But I'm not a graded. So any help would be appreciated thanks for looking.

If what you mean by “seem” is the comic’s spine, what I believe you’re seeing is what happens sometimes with stiffer or heavier paper stock in that the paper fibers crack at the point where the cover is folded over.  Is this book Wolverine #6? I haven’t seen one in hand to know with any certainty, but the abrasions you see could very well be production related depending on the paper used.

Yes it is wolverine 6 the Alex Ross Timeless virgin variant. I never opened the book up I didn't read it. It just came like that. As the other person ask would it effect the grade and how? Thanks

It may or may not affect the grade depending on how prevalent this defect is across all copies (is it considered production related or not?) and the cumulative effect of any other wear or defects on the book.  A book is graded on the entirety of it’s condition.
