Let's see how my scanner does with an older comic.

The chips/tears on the covers (top) is interesting.  There is an obvious miswrap...not too bad.  The book was cut poorly (production)...it was not trimmed by someone.  The difference between the top and bottom of the comic is about 1/8th of an inch. :cry:

Pages are tan to off-white.

This will go up for sale as well.

Moderate creasing w/color breaks, minor to moderate vertical spine stress w/color breaks, corners blunted w/slight creasing and color breaks, upper edge wear, slightly discolored staples, staining/foxing on spine, moderate staining on the rear cover, cover not trimmed properly (bindery), it does affect the aesthetic appeal.

IMO...

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.

4.5 VERY GOOD+ (VG):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Very Good but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

Exactly what I was thinking, 4.5-5.0
