Not that it matters with this particular comic, but "loose" is one of those terms that should never be used in a condition description.  Why?  It's a word that can describe either a partially detached item (such as a loose tooth) or a completely detached item (such as a loose dog that's roaming the neighborhood).  When it comes to comics, I prefer the "attached" and "detached" descriptors (for example, securely attached, barely attached, and/or completely detached).  For best results, leave nothing open to interpretation.  

For what it's worth, put me in the 1.8 GD- to 2.0 GD camp.

2.0/2.5

Thanks for posting.

I agree, the book is currently still on it's way to me, and they were described as "loose" when I had purchased it. So that's just what I went by. But I assume they are detached.

2.0

I'm a 2.0, but I could see a grader penalizing the discoloration more

Please let us know; I hope they just meant "centerfold loose at the staples".

1.8 for me

[FrontStands]

Centerfold was completely detached, the other one was detached by 1 staple.

2.0 for me but great issue to have in your collection no matter the grade.

That is quite an interpretation of "2 loose centerfold pages"...thanks for the update!
