marvelmaniac Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 Blunted top left corner with color loss, some color rub on rear cover. IMO... 9.2 NEAR MINT- (NM-): Back to Top Nearly perfect with only a minor additional defect or defects that keep it from Near Mint. A limited number of minor bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is flat with no surface wear. Inks are bright with only the slightest dimming of reflectivity. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. A 1/16-1/8" bend is permitted with no color break. Small, inconspicuous, lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable as long as they are in an unobtrusive location. Slight foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Almost no stress lines. Paper is off-white to cream, supple and fresh. Slight interior tears are allowed.

You barely notice it, I think I can get 9.4+ especially with the sig series boost lol. Also yeah have to be careful to not get prints on it.

I’ll get any copy if it’s a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
