PGM - FF #73 0

Second submission for this evening.

Comic look a little dirty. Not sure if it is dirt or foxing, or both.

Thank you in advance for your time and efforts!

All things considered, the white here looks pretty good at least compared to some white covers I own from the same era. I see a short 1/4"-1/2" tear below the torch, and some light oxidation of paper (I don't think this is foxing, but wouldn't put $$$ on my analysis). 7.5/8.0. I could see an 8.5 if cleaning lightened up the white just a little.

Your grade is very encouraging. So far this is the highest grade of all the comics I've posted. My comics were never bought for collecting, but for reading.  And somehow I have held on to them over the years.  Again, thank you for your time and comments!

I'd guess a 7.0.

I see a very good looking 7.0

The tear below torches foot and the spine creases plus slight oxidation bottom staple keep it from a higher grade for me.
