marvelmaniac Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Blunted Corners, Edge Wear, Slightly Discolored Lower Staple, Severe Color Rub in UPC Box and Lower Edge Along With a "5" written on lower edge, Slight Spine Stress/Ticks W/Color Break, Severe Staining On Rear Cover. There is no major creasing, however, IMO, it is the color rub and staining that keeps this book from being a higher grade. 5.5 FINE- (FN-): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
