marvelmaniac Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Dinged bottom left corner, slight color rub on bottom edge, minor spine stress with a couple of color breaking spine ticks, minor staple tears at lower staple, slight spine roll/fanned pages, slight color rub/staining and sun shadow on rear cover. IMO... 9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM): Back to Top Nearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is almost flat with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. Very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. Paper is off-white to cream and supple. Very minor interior tears may be present. 8.5 VERY FINE+ (VF+): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

scburdet Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 For comics this age, I it would be beneficial to show a sample of inside pages and what the inside of the cover looks like b/c any tanning/foxing is being penalized pretty severely. Assuming there are no issues there 8.5±0.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
