PGM Omega Men 3 1 1

[ComicSpa]

So we have color breaking ticks and creases, blunting, edge wear on bottom of the front and back cover, veins b/c, creases, ticks, staple tear, and spine crunch at the top of spine. Inside is fine. No issues. Thx for feedback everyone!

[marvelmaniac]

Blunted corners with color loss and small color breaking creases on left side corners, edge wear with color loss, minor to moderate spine stress with moderate color breaking stress lines, three moderate color breaking scratches/creases, 1 on the top half along outer edge and 2 on the lower half of cover, small stains on the lower edge of rear cover.

If what you are calling "veins" are "printer creases" they should not affect the grade, however, do not have them pressed out of you will be left with a section with no color.

IMO, this book grades at a FN 6.0 to FN+ 6.5
