bapowell Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Hi all, Nothing much to note...what you see is what you get! Quarter inch tear about half-way down fore-edge of FC. Corner creases, spine has some dings. Back is lightly soiled. Inside is clean, complete, and firmly attached to staples. Thanks for looking!

marvelmaniac Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Corners blunted w/color breaking creases, edge wear with color breaks, small tear on outer edge of front cover, minor to moderate staple tears, minor to moderate spine stress w/color breaking spine ticks, discolored lower staple, top left corner folded over on rear cover. I cannot see the inside covers or centerfold to see if either is loose or detached. Going by what I can see, IMO... FN- 5.5 6.0 FINE (FN): Back to Top An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose. 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...

MrRoboto Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I’ll go 5.0-5.5. However, this book is not detective comics 237 it is Batman 237. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
