Jungle Comics 98 - A Case of Shaken Comic Syndrome? 1 1

[10centcomics]

Wanted to get some 2nd opinions on what to do on a recent HA.com auction win that arrived. It appears the book's cover shifted during transit. When I talked with HA.com client services, they assured me that wasn't any additional damage done to the comic but doesn't dragging the cover down like that put pressure on other parts of the book? It also appears there is a tear near the base of the bottom staple that isn't on the original scan. The client services representative checked the grader notes for me and there is a note around tearing around the staples but nothing more specific than that.

This isn't a valuable book so not a huge deal but wanted to get some opinions before I make a decision to return or keep the book. Let me know if you have any similar experiences. Thanks!

Is the bottom of the inner well sealed?

I just looked and the inner well is sealed. The entire inner well is somewhat loosely sitting in the case (relative to another book I just held in the newest CGC case).

It looks like the cover shifted downward inside the well. This would tend to put more stress on the staples, which could cause more damage. I would guess this happened during shipping...
