marvelmaniac Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Hard to see any minor defects with the blurry pics but I will do my best. Slightly rounded corners, minor spine stress with several color breaking spine ticks, writing on cover, discolored staples with slight rust migration at top staple, minor foxing/staining on rear cover, corner bend/crease at lower left of rear cover, finger bends/denting on outer edge of rear cover, what appears to be a small tear (1/8") on the lower edge of rear cover. Without clear pics and the writing on the cover, IMO... 6.0 FINE (FN): Back to TopAn 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.

eltanno Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 He just said "nice copy" i ended up passing, it sold in the UK for £230 (280 USD). I was close to going higher, but the auction was ending and i could not get more info. Maybe another will appear in my future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
