Mulling the Englehart's signing. Not much in the queue that wouldn't mean sending something I've already investing in signing and/or grading. This one has been getting some traction b/c of Kang. Some light defects & what looks like some yellow ink application problem on the upper right. Pretty sure that's production, but definitely impacts presentation. Would be less on the fence if it was the cover artist.

Although the yellowing above "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" appears to be color loss/color rub it is not, I checked my book and books on eBay and they all have that yellowing, so, no deduction there.

Blunted corners w/slight creasing, edge wear with slight color loss, color rub in the black "Marvel Comics Group" banner, mistrimmed top edge, small color breaking scratches on cover, minor spine stress with a few color breaking spine ticks, slight staining in the price box, minor to moderate staining/foxing on rear cover.

IMO...FN+ 6.5

 

7.0 FINE/VERY FINE (FN/VF):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal. A small accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear beginning to show, possibly including minor creases. Corners may be blunted. Inks are generally bright with a moderate reduction in reflectivity. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. The slightest spine roll may be present, as well as a possible moderate color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Slight staple tears and a small accumulation of light stress lines may be present. Slight rust migration. Paper is cream to tan. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present.

6.5 FINE+ (FN+):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.
