yeah, it says "tiny tear on first 16 pages" which I don't know what CGC considers tiny, but no major tears and the back cover is really nice as well, plus no date stamps, writing, foxing, miswrap, stains, etc... I think the 6.5 fine plus grade is accurate, when I was at the Chicago Con, I saw about 4 copies of #14, 3 of which were restored, and the one unrestored would probably grade out at 3.5/4.0 with a major miswrap and a name written on the cover in red crayon, Metro just sold a Supes #14 6.5 for $2,750.00, I didn't pay anywhere close to that for this one, so to sum up,, I'm happy with it....
