Bought this off Heritage. They claim it is a

FINE (6.0)

but that seems way too high to me unless you only look at the front cover. Thought I would ask for opinions here to make sure I'm not going crazy.

There is an indent and tear in the back cover going through half of the book:

And tearing at the corners and on inside pages:

I'm thinking 2.0 tops.  I haven't looked at the spoiler yet. 

[grendelbo]

I'm at a 2.5 maybe 3.0.

GA always gets a little forgiveness. Front still has a lot of eye appeal.

Ain't no

Love the Spirit. Thanks for sharing.

If this gets a 6.0 blue label, I'll stop giving grade estimates in the boards.

I guess I could look it up, but if you submit a book to Heritage and it's not certified, do they grade it? I suppose so since they list grading criteria.

I've bought a couple issues from mycomicshop and their grading seems too harsh and ultimately very fair.

This grade is whack and I too would have to throw my hands up in the air.

Yeah Heritage grades the books. The only thing I can think of is that they graded it from the scans and not in hand, otherwise I'm not sure how it could've been graded as a FN. This is the third time I've had a HA raw book arrive with undisclosed issues so maybe it's time for me to stop buying raws there...
