marvelmaniac Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Edge Wear, Blunted/Rounded Corners, Spine Stress/Staple Tears at Top Staple W/Color Break, Slight Stress at Lower Staple, Staples Discolored, Foxing on the Edges of the Front and Rear Cover. I do not see any major defects although, IMO, the stress/color breaks by the top staple prevent this book from being a higher grade. 6.5 FINE+ (FN+): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 6.0 FINE (FN): Back to Top An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose.
