Please grade this Shocking Mystery Cases #51! 3 3

[Point Five]

Tight, flat, vibrant. Chip to upper right corner. There's a tear in the lower right corner with a small piece of clear tape on the other side. White pages. Thanks!

Nice Book.

3/4" triangle missing top right corner, 1" crease/tear at lower right corner, slightly blunted/rounded corners, moderate staining on front and rear covers, discolored staples, minor to moderate spine stress/creasing w/color breaks, what appears to be a 1/2" piece missing from the rear cover outer edge by the "Junior Sports Kit".

If there is any leeway given to Golden Age books then this may grade higher, unfortunately, IMO, with the taped lower right corner (is the tape holding the piece on?) the 3/4" triangle missing from the top right corner and piece missing from the rear cover outer edge...

4.0 VERY GOOD (VG):  Back to Top
The average used comic book. Cover shows moderate to significant wear, and may be loose but not completely detached. Cover reflectivity is low. Can have moderate creases or dimples. Corners may be blunted. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Some discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor soiling is allowed. As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable. Only minor unobtrusive tape and other amateur repair allowed on otherwise high grade copies. Moderate spine roll may be present and/or a 1" spine split. Staples may be discolored. Minor to moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple.

It pops.

Presents pretty well despite the top corner chip, but I'm with marvelmaniac, the cumulative flaws put this at a 4.0
