Fantastic Four #51 1 1

Any thoughts on grade? I was thinking around a 8.0? Or would those small tears take a larger chunk out of the grade? Thanks!

Definitely not an 8.0. The inside photo of the back cover make it appear that the cover is detached, or darn close to it. The top edge of the front cover is rough with at least one small tear visible from the inside shot above the S in PRODUCTS. Corners have wear. There's clearly shadow/oxidation around the edges. Best case scenario is 5.5/6.0 & 5.0/5.5 seems more likely to my eyes. Possibly lower depending on the degree of detachment

Some of the pictures are pretty distant....kind of hard to really see all the imperfections.

I top out around 6.0. Doesn't look detached to me, but they're going to hammer you for the staple tears.

Those greens are beautiful! Notorious for fading… I would just put it in a Mylar and enjoy it 😊

Betting that spine is brittle. Nice looking 4.0 or 4.5 taking structure as a main grading criteria.
