  1. Color breaking spine and staple stress lines, mis-wrapped cover, corner chip — 8.0
  2. Very well said. To add to what @grebalnoted: Although most bindery perforation ‘defects’ occur on pages, they do occasionally appear on covers as well. Sometimes they are just small holes, sometimes they are tears. Ultimately what matters is the graders’ determination if that particular defect is part of the manufacturing process. That said, if the tears are judged to be a manufacturing defect it won’t affect your grade on this book.
  3. Frazetta cover, very nice. 6.0 is fair.
  4. Wow. I don’t remember seeing anything about broken staples in the Overstreet grading guide... so shot in the dark here... 6.0
  5. Corner chip, edge tears, writing on the cover... 7.5-8.0 green label.
  6. Tear on the bottom of the FC on Carnage’s knee, as well. Likely they are bindery perforations, are any pages torn?
  7. Yep, there’s writing on the cover. Super sharp book, looks like it was pulled from the newsstand this morning!
  8. 7.5 - weak corners and color breaking creases keep it out of the 8’s
