marvelmaniac Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Rusted Staples, Blunted/Creased Lower Right Corner W/Color Break, Dust Shadow on Rear Cover. IMO, the book is better than a FN/VF 7.0 but the crease keeps this book from being a VF 8.0, so... VF- 7.5 8.0 VERY FINE (VF): Back to Top An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. Spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. Paper is cream to tan and supple. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. 7.5 VERY FINE- (VF-): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candygramformongo Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 8.0 for me and I think C/P maybe even gets higher. But I recognize I'm the outlier thus far and these other folks are some of the best on this board so take it with a grain of salt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice cover blacks, which are typically grainy with grayish spotting and streaks. Nice color strike overall really helps the eye appeal.
