marvelmaniac Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 IMO, this book is better than a VG 4.0, it could be a VG/FN 5.0 (hard to tell with only two pics), when undecided I always drop a grade so... VG+ 4.5 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. 4.5 VERY GOOD+ (VG): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Good but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 4.0 VERY GOOD (VG): Back to Top The average used comic book. Cover shows moderate to significant wear, and may be loose but not completely detached. Cover reflectivity is low. Can have moderate creases or dimples. Corners may be blunted. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Some discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor soiling is allowed. As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable. Only minor unobtrusive tape and other amateur repair allowed on otherwise high grade copies. Moderate spine roll may be present and/or a 1" spine split. Staples may be discolored. Minor to moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicginger1789 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 3.5-4.0 seems right. The amount of corner creases seems plentiful, along with the wrinkling/creasing near the Loki blurb. Unless there is something interior going on keeping it from this grade, I think this is the range for this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a period of time in the last decade, they seemed to get really strict on stuff. The tears are they referring to the Marvel Chipping? If so I have seen worse chipping on higher graded books. This is a very nice 2.5 and I think could bump up a half grade to a grade... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on what you have in it, whether risking "x" dollars for "x" grade bump is worth it. nebyort 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
