marvelmaniac Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Blunted/worn corners, chipping/small pieces missing from top edge, moderate spine stress with color breaking vertical creasing and color breaking spine ticks, moderate spine roll, severe dust/sun shadow along outer edge of rear cover, discoloration of rear cover by spine (is that a doodle?) rear cover top edge has small chipping/pieces missing, I cannot see the staples nor can I see/tell if the cover/centerfold is loose/detached. 4.0 VERY GOOD (VG): Back to Top The average used comic book. Cover shows moderate to significant wear, and may be loose but not completely detached. Cover reflectivity is low. Can have moderate creases or dimples. Corners may be blunted. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Some discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor soiling is allowed. As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable. Only minor unobtrusive tape and other amateur repair allowed on otherwise high grade copies. Moderate spine roll may be present and/or a 1" spine split. Staples may be discolored. Minor to moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple. Mavrick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it’s not like a loose piece right? Edited September 30, 2023 by LDarkseid1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDarkseid1 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 I’d say 5.0, 5.5 with a press/clean. Mavrick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
