marvelmaniac Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) The book presents nicely, looking at the close ups however, IMO, makes the book look worse than it probably is, like when you use a makeup mirror and see all of the wrinkles/pores in your face magnified. Blunted Corners, Edge Wear, Edge and Spine Creasing W/Color Break, Staining on Back Cover... IMO FN- 5.5 (Better than a VG/FN 5.0 but is it a FN 6.0?) 6.0 FINE (FN): Back to Top An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose. 5.5 FINE- (FN-): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 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. Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples. Inks have moderate to low reflectivity. Blunted corners are increasingly common, as is minor to moderate staining, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed. A spine split of up to 1/2" may be present. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and minor stress lines may also be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown with no signs of brittleness. Centerfold may be loose. Minor interior tears may also be present.

CHASEnBLUE Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Could a clean and press stretch this to a 6.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my doubts the grade will bump given the condition of spine...not something a press will improve CHASEnBLUE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
