ComicSpa Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Spine damage, dog ears, ticks, and on the back evidently a smoker. A shame. Oh the damage these books endure. Inside is complete. Damage to the last 6 inside pages due to cigarette burn. Brown spots where the burn took place. Let me know. Thx. Galen130 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Edge wear with color breaks and chipping on top edge, corner wear with color breaking creases, minor to moderate spine stress w/color breaks, some color rub on front cover, slight color breaking crease by the Thinkers head, slightly discolored staples, rear cover burn hole, tear at lower spine. IMO... 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...

Februus Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I’m thinking 4.0 to 4.5 due to the burn going through 6 pages. A somewhat unusual defect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta go with that. At least it is on the back cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendelbo Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Dunno. The burn is a pretty unique flaw. 3.0/3.5 Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
