Fantastic Four #2 2 2

[Comcasthawk]

Book is complete. Nothing missing from front or back covers. There is a name written on the cover. Someone "added" another staple to the right of the bottom staple because of a rip in the book.  The rip goes through the book but it gets "smaller" in length as it reaches the centerfold. Centerfold is attached. NO spine split!

I need to get this book "fixed" and have someone remove the staple and give it a cleaning and a press, if warranted.

Great book! Probably 2.5/3.0 range, but nice for the grade.

Not an expert here, but that second staple looks vintage.  Are you sure this was added later?  To me it looks like it occurred during production.  That makes me wonder if the tear was caused by the second staple and was not the cause of a staple being added later.  Any other opinions?

agreed...the staples are aligned parallel, almost perfectly to the spine and to each other as if during production

Dang!
 

I saw the headline in the popular posts column on the right hand side and thought it was a sales thread 

2.5 from the pix too, but 3.0 turning up wouldn’t shock me, either.
