PGM Spectacular Spider Man #64 2 2

1st Cloak and Dagger. I had this book as a kid but had LONG lost it to the ravages of time so when I saw this in an auction last year, I jumped on it. I was happy as I got it for a pretty good price but was horrified when the book arrived. Whoever put it in the bag, put it in wrong and the bottom corner was folded in the bag giving it a LONG color breaking crease. Before that, the book was probably in the high 8's low nines... now? I'm not so sure. What say you?

Slight corner/edge wear with some color loss, minor to moderate top staple tears, long color breaking crease at lower right corner.

IMO...FN+ 6.5 to FN/VF 7.0

 

VF 8.0 - An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present

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.

6.5 FINE+ (FN+):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

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.
