GazelleNote Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hello CGC community! I was hoping someone could help me out and tell me what happened to this book.. I have a Secret Wars #1 with a funky cover. It is otherwise in NM condition. Just curious if anyone can tell why this happened and if it will take a hug hit during the grading process (ie get a green label or something). It doesn't feel any different running my finger across it. Makes me think it is a printing error. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 yes it appears to be a blob of black ink. Printing error...maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Is it newsstand or direct? if it's direct, I would think printing error; if it's newsstand, it might be an error when the distributor was marking the tops of the books or something... I would think long and hard before bothering to submit it; unless it's for your own collection. The eye appeal could drop any value on the book even if the technical grade is high.

It looks like a printing error to me Gazelle - quite similar to the fairly common dotty black Marvel Super Action #1 error: Cap really needs to wash his face there, doesn't he. Talk about letting the side down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

androolx Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I find it interesting how the black ink precisely fills in some of the webbing pattern on Spidey' s left forearm and hand. Get Marwood & I 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
