That is a 2011 book, the original series from 1941 ran for 62 issues, I assume that is why this is numbered 63. https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=21803329

According to the grading standards, bindery tears are only mentioned in NM+ 9.6 (No bindery tears are allowed,) and NM 9.4 (Bindery tears must be less than 1/16" on Silver Age and later books), there is no more mention of any bindery tears/spine splits in grades NM- 9.2, VF/NM 9.0, VF 8.0, FN/VF 7.0, the next mention of any vertical corner spine tears is FN 6.0.(There can also be a 1/4" spine split) My interpretation of all of this is that if it is longer than 3/16" it is a spine split, regardless of how it started, the question of course then becomes what exactly is the tape attempting to repair, a spine split, a small piece(s) missing or both?

IMO...VG+ 4.5 5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN): Back to Top An above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed.

I am not entirely sure how the tape will affect the grade, the tape is attempting to repair a tear, without the tape and defect I would have graded this book in the FN/VF 7.0 range, according to the grading standards (Overstreet/Heritage) tape is not allowed in any grade above VG 4.0, however, books are graded in their entirety, not on one lone defect, giving you the benefit of the doubt, IMO...VG/FN 5.0 VG 4.0 - Only minor unobtrusive tape and other amateur repair allowed on otherwise high grade GD/VG 3.0 - Tape and other amateur repair may be present. GD 2.0 - Tape and other forms of amateur repair are common in Silver Age and older books.

This book seems to be right inline with your other book, the subscription crease is not as bad... IMO... 4.0 VERY GOOD (VG): Back to Top The average used comic book. Cover shows moderate to significant wear, and may be loose but not completely detached. Cover reflectivity is low. Can have moderate creases or dimples. Corners may be blunted. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Some discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor soiling is allowed.

Blunted corners with color breaking creases, edge wear with color breaking vertical creases along the outer edge, book length color breaking subscription crease, minor to moderate spine wear with color breaking stress lines and color breaking vertical creases, minor to moderate spine roll, minor discoloration of rear cover. According to the grading standards (Overstreet/Heritage) book length creases are not allowed in a any grade above GD/VG 3.0, however, without the subscription crease I would have graded this book in the VG/FN 5.0 range, with the subscription crease, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assign a grade of...VG- 3.5 to VG 4.0 FN 6.0 - Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. VG/FN 5.0 - Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples. VG 4.0 - Can have moderate creases or dimples. GD/VG 3.0 - Can have a book-length crease and/or dimples. GD 2.0 - Book-length creases and dimples may be present.

Books are graded in their entirety, the wording used in the grading standards creates a lot of gray areas and is open to individual interpretation, for future reference, on corners only... NM+ 9.6 - One corner may be almost imperceptibly blunted, but still almost sharp and cut square. NM 9.4 - Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. NM- 9.2 - Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. VF/NM 9.0 - Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. VF 8.0 - Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. FN/VF 7.0 - Corners may be blunted. FN 6.0 - Blunted corners are more common,

that the other folks are correct and I just being too strict.

The book presents better than a VG 4.0 but with the amount of creasing/spine stress, IMO, it does not meet VG/FN 5.0 standards, so...

Normally I would have graded this book in the VG/FN 5.0 to FN- 5.5 range, however, with the centerfold being detached at the lower staple... IMO...VG+ 4.5 5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN): Back to Top An above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed.

Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Some discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor soiling is allowed.

1)Do the water stains go thru to the interior pages? 2)On the rear cover by the outer edge next to "Kathleen", is that a scratch, crease or tear? Other than blunted corners, color breaking creases at lower right corner, fold/crease along lower outer edge, minor spine wear with a couple of small color breaking spine tick, minor to moderate discoloration/staining on rear cover, and of course the moderate to severe water stains on the rear cover. IMO, the book without water stains is in the FN+ 6.5 to FN/VF 7.0 range, with the water stains, VG/FN 5.0 to FN- 5.5? Possibly someone with the CGC grading guide can tell us how much of a hit books with staining like this will take, AFAIK, if the stain can be removed it would get a Purple Restored Label.

As far as weather to grade or not to grade, this book is always worth grading, low grade raw copies are still selling for $1000.00 or more, a CGC VG+ 4.5 sold for $2800.00 on February 18, a CGC graded GD+ 2.5 sold for $1725.00 on March 10, It all depends on what your plans are for the book. 1)Are you keeping the book or planning to sell? 2)Is the MVS intact? If no, the book will receive a "Qualified" Green Label, if the MVS is intact, as the book sits right now, IMO, it is in the VG+ 4.5 to VG/FN 5.0 range although the staining may keep it on the lower end, VG 4.0? 3)Having the book graded and encapsulated does not provide any additional storage safety, the slabs are not airtight and are not UV protected, they do not provide any additional protection over the use of a Mylite and Acid Free Board and both raw and graded books must be stored in the same environmental conditions to slow down the degrading process, the only advantage of being graded/slabbed is human hands will never touch the book again, is that a good or bad thing? 4)Another alternative, a UV protected comic book frame, you can still remove and touch/read the book if needed and it can be displayed without fear of UV damage. https://www.bcwsupplies.com/comic-book-showcase-silver-uv

I fell for the hype with this being announced on every major news program at the time, had to see what all the hype was about and if what they were saying was true.
