ComicSpa Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 We have color breaking ticks and creases, staple tear ( top ), blunting, scratches to front cover, stain on f/b covers. Interior pages don’t show staining and a miswrap cover. Inside looks fine. Nothing missing. Feedback much appreciated again! Thanks everyone!

marvelmaniac Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Cover wrap and staples are off center, minor spine stress with a few/multiple color breaking spine stress lines/spine ticks, minor to moderate staple tears, color breaking scratch thru the price box, some wrinkling/discoloration along spine of rear cover. IMO...FN/VF 7.0 8.0 VERY FINE (VF): Back to Top An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. A limited accumulation of minor bindery/printing defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. An unnoticeable 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. Minor foxing. Spine is almost completely flat with a possible minor color break. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost insignificant stress lines may be present. Paper is cream to tan and supple. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. 7.5 VERY FINE- (VF-): Back to Top Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzemarvel Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 It looks like there is a light water stain on both covers? To be on the safe side, I'd say 6.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
