marvelmaniac Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Edge wear w/ slight color loss, top edge has denting, blunted corners w/ color loss/creasing at top left corner, color rub in price box by Thor, 1-2 spine ticks. IMO, the top left corner/edge wear keeps this book from being a higher grade, again a very nice book with a one defect that lowers the grade, this one has me on the fence...VF- 7.5 - VF 8.0 8.0 VERY FINE (VF): Back to Top An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. Spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. Paper is cream to tan and supple. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. FN/VF 7.0 - Corners may be blunted. VF/NM 9.0 - Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. NM- 9.2 - Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. NM 9.4 - Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. scburdet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
