Hi, I’m back in the hobby and my wolverine #1 is perfect except for the corners splitting from being too large. I also noticed this on my amazing spider Man (798?)that was Oversized.
A couple of questions:
Is this a common defect in these double sized issues? Does CGC take that into account when they grade? Is it possible to get a 9.8 grade with corner splits if it’s common to the book?

Thnx,
GG

Not sure about the GCG grading but yes in my opinion this is quite common and quite annoying. Marvel is very cheap when it comes to this and packs 80-100 pages on these books and the corners start to split.

They need to copy DC and spend a little money and give these larger books a proper square bound spine.

CGC will count that as a defect regardless of how often it happens with Marvel oversized issues.
