Spider-Woman #1 first series (Dutch, Spanish and Mexican editions!) 1 1

[CaseyJohnson]

I saw @Hado's post like 11 years ago about his Norwegian Spider-Woman #1 as I was submitting these three to be slabbed I wonder what the final grade was on that one.  So I've been looking for versions of the book outside the states as well and these are what I have The Mexican one was the more difficult grab, had to squat in Mexican comic book groups on facebook for awhile before I got a chance at one.  (Sorry for the crappy zoom on the Spanish version, I got it and shipped it before I could take a better photo)  I've also located versions from Greece and Lebanon that I'll get soon.

The pics need to be clearer and in better light, the top one is too small, the bottom one needs to be removed from the bag, pics should show the front and rear covers, spine/staples, inside covers and centerfold.

Your middle pic shows blunted corners with color breaking creases, edge wear with color loss, multiple color breaking creases across cover, minor to moderate spine wear with multiple color breaking scratches/creases/tears, 1" spine split at bottom, (back cover defects including foxing/staining/discoloration unknown).

Going by what is seen on the front cover only, additional defects such as loose/detached cover/centerfold, discolored/rusted staples, or defects on the rear cover or interior pages may lower the grade even further.

IMO...VG- 3.5 to VG 4.0

 

4.0 VERY GOOD (VG):  Back to Top
The average used comic book. Cover shows moderate to significant wear, and may be loose but not completely detached. Cover reflectivity is low. Can have moderate creases or dimples. Corners may be blunted. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Some discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor soiling is allowed. As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable. Only minor unobtrusive tape and other amateur repair allowed on otherwise high grade copies. Moderate spine roll may be present and/or a 1" spine split. Staples may be discolored. Minor to moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple.

3.5 VERY GOOD- (VG-):  Back to Top
Fits the criteria for Very Good but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount.

3.0 GOOD/VERY GOOD (GD/VG):  Back to Top
A used comic book showing some substantial wear. Cover shows significant wear, and may be loose or even detached at one staple. Cover reflectivity is very low. Can have a book-length crease and/or dimples. Corners may be blunted or even rounded. Discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor to moderate soiling is allowed. A triangle from 1/4" to 1/2" can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" to 1/4" square is also acceptable. Tape and other amateur repair may be present. Moderate spine roll likely. May have a spine split of anywhere from 1" to 1-1/2". Staples may be rusted or replaced. Minor to moderate staple tears and moderate stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present.
