Journey into Mystery 85 First Loki 3 3

[Charles Hodges]

Slowly trying to improve my grading skills. I have an idea on this one, but would love input. One thing not seen in the pics is that the cover is separated from the top staple, but not the bottom. That limits me to a max of 4, other issues notwithstanding, right? The interior pages are all tightly stapled. It has not been cleaned or pressed or, obviously, graded.

On an otherwise perfect copy a cover detachment at one staple would put you in the FN range.

With the other defects and back cover stain, I'm at a 3.5.

Nice copy and great book. Thanks for sharing.

I'd say 3.5

That tear and staining on the back cover had me at 3.0.

With a press…maybe 4.0.
