EDIT: Scrap that here is a CGC graded copy of that book and ... one staple.

That would be a production error if there are no other holes in the book. If you were getting it graded by CGC you might request a "qualified" grade. I've seen that before in older books but it's not what I would consider common. I hope that helps.

That is a bit of misinformation. There were a number of publishers that only used one staple in the period around and after the war. If the staple is placed in the centre of the spine and no other staple holes are present then it is likely they published with one staple. If the staple is off centre then likely it was a production error. I believe Fawcett's and Timely books of this period were publishers that manufactured their books with one staple around this time.

I have a Yellow jacket comics #7 printed in January 1946. It has only one staple in the middle of the book with holes or other signs of any other staples. My questions is this a defect or something common of age an if a defect how bad of one?



Clarification - Did you mean, "no holes or other signs of any other staples"?]]> Mon, 29 Jan 2018 08:21:00 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=11943 Message from comfan Mon, 29 Jan 2018 04:32:16 GMT
