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.

One Shot Comics Posted Sunday at 01:55 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:55 AM I think the tanning and the corner front right will keep this at a 7.5. Classic Surfer cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvonie Posted Monday at 12:46 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:46 AM I’m at a 7.5 as well, but it’s a wonderful example imo, because so much of the wear is on the spine itself. From the front and back it’s an 8.5. Gorgeous book, thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRoboto Posted Monday at 09:09 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:09 PM I was thinking 6.0 but based upon everyone else's opinion I'm going to say 7.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
