That's a new defect if I've ever heard one. Sounds like it came with the Atom comic CG had of the Hoboken pedigree.

Funny you should mention that...Atom #21 will be returning soon to an auction near you!

That HAS to be the most blatently honest descriptions ever. Accurate grading too.

Very commendable, very funny...

Rat or mouse chews are not as uncommon as you think. I've seen plenty of comics that looked like they've been chewed on by rodents. I once bought a Amazing Spider-man #100 that was very nice and would have graded NM except for a bit of a chewed up corner. The seller explained he had mice in the basement where he kept his comics.

Oh yeah, that term's been around for quite a while. I heard it like 20 years ago, I'm sure it's older than that.

And it is an official term - CGC recognizes it! :-)

I've got a New Funnies #76 with a major rat chew, about 1-3/4" triangle all the way through the book. I think it may have been done by one of the giant Metal Munching Mice for the Bullwinkle show.

I just don't get it little mouse...

Why eat comic books when there are so
many other nutritious and deeelicious
edibles in this wonderful forest?
