Regardless of grade.....what are dealbreakers for you?

[BarryAllen]

Writing on the cover is a pet peeve... Lately I have become Marvel Chipping averse as well...

[Erndog]

Mcfarlane covers

Are tan or light tan pages a deterrent for anyone when buying a book? I know brittle is always a dealbreaker.

[rapid08]

Hell no:

Signatures

Trimming

 

I'd rather not:

Rusted staples

Sun Tanning

Brittle Pages

[Artboy99]

my list:

 

-less than 4.0

-brittle pages

-incomplete

-smelly

 

 

Sometimes I will make an exception on a book. Example: try to locate a Planet Comics 15 that doesn't have brittle pages.

 

I managed to find one, but it is a 1.5.

-Comics ripped into 2 piece... top half and bottom half.

 

 

 

So... this Weird Fantasy #15 wouldn't be the crown jewel of your collection then?

 

[Justin Case]

For me there are only 2 dealbreakers which are brittle pages at number one with missing pages number two. The former makes me feel that sometime in the future the comic is going to fall apart and the latter well, i just dont want an incomplete comic.

Do you have the bottom half :-)

[Mutant Manatee]

 

Do you have the bottom half :-)

 

No, I don't. I saw this top half on eBay for $10 and bought it on a lark.

[ChasingKingKirby]

Brittle and trimming. I don't like tanning or incomplete but I can tolerate for some books. Brittle and trimming is just a no about 99% of the time. Though I never say never.

[jeffreyk]

I cant stand any water damage or moisture causing ripples on the book. Also, Marvel chipping or any chipping is a turn off.
