| 9.4 NEAR MINT STAPLES - " Generally centered; may have slight discoloration. No staple tears are allowed; almost no stress lines. NO rust migration. In rare cases, a comic was not stapled at the bindery and therefore has a missing staple; this is not considered a defect. Any staple can be replaced on books up to Fine, but only vintage staples can be used on books from Very Fine to Near Mint. Mint books MUST have original staples. " A quote out of the Overstreet grading guide about staples. 10.0-9.6 Must have staple. 9.4 is the earliest grade in which the overall book is a 9.4 or better but without the staple will receive a 9.4 grade Max.

The book I have wit a missing staple is Miracleman #16. It will be interesting to see if it is a post production defect or not.
