Conda123 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Fortunate to be sorting through some comics for my family and this was one of them. Untrained eyes here, some slight creasing/indents on front (visible on underside of Blackbird), bottom left back corner is frayed, bottom right has a tiny indent on border. Appreciate any and all thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvelmaniac Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Slightly blunted top left corner of rear cover, moderate denting on lower outer edge of rear cover, blunted lower left corner on rear cover. IMO... 9.0 VERY FINE/NEAR MINT (VF/NM): Back to Top Nearly perfect with outstanding eye appeal. A limited number of bindery/printing defects are allowed. Cover is almost flat with almost imperceptible wear. Inks are bright with slightly diminished reflectivity. An 1/8" bend is allowed if color is not broken. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted but no creases. Several lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable. Very minor foxing. Spine is tight and flat. Staples may show some discoloration. Only the slightest staple tears are allowed. A very minor accumulation of stress lines may be present if they are nearly imperceptible. Paper is off-white to cream and supple. Very minor interior tears may be present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
