I have several issues like this, where a previous owner apparently
'archived' the book by stapling it into a binder (or something). They
had already been removed by the time I acquired it, but now that
I'm grading them, I'm not sure how much this reduces the value by.

Thanks for any help you can give,
badfeet

It looks like about a 5.0 before taking the extra holes into consideration. Maybe a 4.5 at worst, shouldn't change the grade that much at this level.

Yeah, 4.5 sounds right to me. Holes in a comic cover could look a whole lot worse than these do.

4.0 with the staple removed, the uper corner doesnt look to good either.  Cool comic regardless.

On the subject of extra staples, I have an ASM #4 that has an extra staple in the cover that is very hard to remove as the paper quality is brittle.  I already removed one staple from the comic by hand and managed to cause some damge , one staple remains.  Anyone have any advice on how to remove the staples without causing extra damage?
