The grader notes for the Avengers #70 are: 1) Light creasing to cover. 2) Light fox to cover. 3) Light pieces out to cover. 4) Light wear all edges of cover. 

To be clear, Note #2 is almost certainly referring to foxing and Note #3 is likely referring to Marvel chipping. 

But it is pretty amazing how the CGC holder can disguise certain flaws and make an average book look pretty nice... 

Thanks for pulling up the notes for it. From what I read it seems CGC really bangs up a comic if it has foxing. I didn't noticed it since it was kinda disguised by the color. It looks like it is on the bottom of the front cover.

there's a fair amount of chipping throughout both wraps that would preclude this copy from approaching any grade close to 7.0. Is that lower staple exhibiting some rust?

Still new to this but I guess chipping is what you call the color on the edges being chipped away. If this is a defect then why does it get beat up that bad by CGC. 

I guess I need to look for that in the future since I grossly overpaid for that book 

I feel you. My last few books I got from CGC has been grossly underrated imo. Usually when you look at a 4.5, the edges and the spine is jacked up. My avengers 70 which I expected to be a 7.0 especially after getting cleaned and pressed came back as a 4.5. 

You guys decide???
