BigDaddy1 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Hope everyone is doing well! I found this copy of ASM #12 at one of my local flea shops, and am curious to hear your opinions on the grade. Some things to say about the book: the top staple for the centerfold is detached, the bottom left of the spine rips up about 1/2 an inch, and somebody wrote Mike on the cover haha. There are also some horizontal tears on the spine too. There are no tears on the interior pages. How would you grade this book? I personally am thinking maybe a 2.5, but don't know how much a partially detached centerfold and writing affects the grading as a whole. I am using a scanner too so if you need more or better photos let me know! Thank you for your input!

marvelmaniac Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 3.0 GOOD/VERY GOOD (GD/VG): Back to TopA used comic book showing some substantial wear. Cover shows significant wear, and may be loose or even detached at one staple. Cover reflectivity is very low. Can have a book-length crease and/or dimples. Corners may be blunted or even rounded. Discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor to moderate soiling is allowed. A triangle from 1/4" to 1/2" can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" to 1/4" square is also acceptable. Tape and other amateur repair may be present. Moderate spine roll likely. May have a spine split of anywhere from 1" to 1-1/2". Staples may be rusted or replaced. Minor to moderate staple tears and moderate stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple.
