Colors are more vibrant than the scan and pics seem to show. Mainly concerned about the upper left corner chip. Let me know what you all think!

Blunted corners with color loss/slight creasing at upper right corner, 1/8" square missing/torn at top left corner, small dent w/color loss on top edge, minor spine stress with 1-2 small, color breaking spine ticks, moderately discolored staples (rusting?), minor stacking curl, 1/4" triangle missing from top left corner of rear cover, moderate discoloration/staining/foxing on rear cover.

Pieces missing from and edge or corner are not allowed until you get to VG 4.0 (As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable.), you have two, without the pieces missing this book, IMO, would be in the FN+ 6.5 - FN/VF 7.0, with the two pieces missing, IMO...VG/FN 5.0

5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN):  Back to Top
An above-average but well used comic book. An accumulation of bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples. Inks have moderate to low reflectivity. Blunted corners are increasingly common, as is minor to moderate staining, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed. A spine split of up to 1/2" may be present. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and minor stress lines may also be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown with no signs of brittleness. Centerfold may be loose. Minor interior tears may also be present.

6.0 FINE (FN):  Back to Top
An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Some accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Minor cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4" spine split or severe color break. Staples may show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. Paper is tan to brown and fairly supple with no signs of brittleness. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. Centerfold may be loose.

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.

The spine corner is probably a bindery tear that came out. The back piece out would max this out by CGC standards around 7.0/7.5, but there appears to be moderate oxidation of the paper, so I can't see this getting above 6.0, and likely more a 5.5

6.0

Thanks for posting.

Not too bad, based on the notes it seems like the chips got hit pretty hard, but solid otherwise "Grader Notes:
light spine stress lines to cover
small chip out left top of back cover
small chip out left top of front cover
very light cover tanning"

Congrats, that's a nice result considering the missing corners and accumulated defects.
