marvelmaniac Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 The front cover looks great, it is hard to see any defects on the front cover due to the light color, however, the black rear cover is telling a different story, showing slightly blunted corners, spine stress with color breaks and a minor staple tear, being that the rear cover is black the defects really stand out, without being able to really see any spine/staple stress on the front I have to assume it carries over from the rear, so, IMO 8.5 VERY FINE+ (VF+): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
