marvelmaniac Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 From the two somewhat blurry pics you have provided the book appears to be a high grade copy. I do not see any major defects but without clearer pics of the spine, corners, inside pages/centerfold... I would not grade a book higher than a NM 9.4 without having the book in front of me, so, based on what I can see... 9.4 NEAR MINT (NM): Back to TopNearly perfect with only minor imperfections that keep it from the next higher grade. Subtle bindery/printing defects are allowed. Bindery tears must be less than 1/16" on Silver Age and later books, although on Golden Age books bindery tears of up to 1/4" have been noted. Cover is flat with no surface wear. Inks are bright with high reflectivity and a minimum of fading. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. A 1/16" bend is permitted with no color break. Small, inconspicuous, lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable as long as they are in an unobtrusive location. Slight foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples are generally centered; may have slight discoloration. Almost no stress lines. Paper is off-white to cream, supple and fresh. Slight interior tears are allowed.

Jcunha Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 My first thought was 9.2/ put probably more likely 9.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
