3 3

8 posts in this topic

Another Fantastic Four that was direct mailed to me through 2nd class USPS. This one is in significantly better condition than #244 that I also posted - but still not great. How bad do you think?

Included below is a shot of the original brown paper that the comic was mailed in. Return mail: “Marvel Comics Group, 575 Madison Ave, New York, NY, 10022.

IMO, the creasing w/color break at the top right front cover, crease by the "G" in "Group" along with the crease on the rear cover prevents this book from being a VF.

VF 8.0 - . An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken.

Overall the book is nice, slightly blunted corners, slight edge wear, and without the creases may have been a VF/NM 9.0, with the creases...

7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.
