bapowell Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) Hi all, This book is in good shape (nice spine, tight staples)...except that the bottom right side of the entire book seems to have had a passing acquaintance with a wood chipper. There are several cuts that go through all wraps, and the pages are flaking/chipping in this area. I'm having a hard time gauging the effect of this kind of defect on the overall grade. Thanks for looking! Edited April 8, 2022 by bapowell Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Severe damage/creasing at the lower right corner and through the interior pages, blunted corners, tear and chipping at outer edge, lower edge wear w/slight color rub, minor spine stress, rear cover/outer edge has wrinkles/creases/small tears, slight staining/foxing on rear cover. With the amount of damage to the outer edges and lower right corner/interior pages I do not feel that this book will grade any higher than a...

FoggyNelson Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 If selling on EBay would list it as VG , to list it higher than that would be a mistake and invite returns 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
