Does halfback refer to boards coated on only one side as opposed to fullbacks being coated on both sides? Do I understand these terms correctly? also, I read in a (much) older thread that they tend to come with a bit of curvature, but is this not a bit too curved? Shiny side up. Looking to rebag and just got these. Thanks

Thanks for the reply's. I've certainly noticed those on pages but never noticed them on a cover before. I know they wouldn't effect a grade when found on pages, would it when found on the cover?

I hopped online looking to replace a random, unimportant book I noticed had a chunk worn away from the bottom. I looked at about 20 copies and every one of them had the same damage, in the same place, in the same triangular shape, to varying degrees of distress. Is this a common p/b defect? A shipping thing? I've not noticed this before. Sorry for the noob question. Thanks for any info. The damage is at the bottom edge just to the right of the upc.

A bit dusty but Airwalker's first appearance just seems a little nicer than I remembered it being when I boxed it up 1/4 century ago. The spine was super tight so please forgive me not cracking to the staples. All the pages are there, no interior tears or stains. Thanks so much for any thoughts.

It's the inside cover ads for me.

These are fun. Here's one of my "best" for category. In the '80s/'90s a young working man on Long Island could afford nice comics or car insurance, but not both. But to me these old reader copies were gold finds.

Sorry, forgot the CF.

Hello Have had this for 30 years, up on the wall for 20. With all the Warlock hoopla I'm curious how my favorite piece grades. I know it's low, so you won't hurt my feelings. Thanks in advance for any opinions.
