marvelmaniac Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 VF- 7.5 to 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. 7.5 VERY FINE- (VF-): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 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.

LowGradeBronze Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 For all your description of a muck encrusted mockery of a comic book, it looks an easy 7.0 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scburdet Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 It's a little hard to see the substance in the main cover shot, I'll take your word for it. I think it looks higher, but if there are substances & stains, there's no evidence CGC won't hammer it to 6.0 or lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
