marvelmaniac Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Structurally the book is not that bad, blunted corners, piece missing and tear at top left corner, long (2/3 of cover) color breaking crease, minor to moderate spine wear with multiple small tears and color breaking stress lines, moderate foxing to both the front and rear covers. IMO...VG 4.0 to VG+ 4.5 Just and FYI...Foxing is biological in nature and present in all paper due to the manufacturing process, it cannot be removed, proper storage can slow down the process. https://www.loc.gov/preservation/care/comics.html https://www.loc.gov/preservation/outreach/tops/foxing/index.html https://saveyourbooks.com/studentforum/how-do-i-get-rid-of-foxing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
