Graders Notes Entry (Fantucchio Pedigree ASM #4) --> Bindery Tears
0

2 posts in this topic

I bought the graders notes for another Spidey #4 coming up in Feb's Clink auction and one of the entries is:

 

- small, multiple bindary tear full right of front cover

 

Below is an image of the book... I thought bindery tears were specific to the spine of the book? I don't really see much tearing along the right side of the front cover. There seems to be the beginning of a marvel chip near Spidey's right hand in the bottom right square but outside of that I have no idea what they're referring to. And yes... That is how they spelled "bindery" in the notes.

It must be a reference to the pre chipping going on. I think I see a few of them, though the one you pointed out, by Spidey's hand, is the most severe. While the look of the pre chips don't bother me, I always worry that they will fall out someday. Nothing worse than a chip laying at the bottom of the inner well. I always feel better if the book is held in place by a wedge or two but I don't see any here. Of course we can't see the back cover to verify.
