Description: The rating I gave this comic is my best guess, however I am not a professional grader so please examine the photos closely. If you have any questions or would like additional photos, please let me know. Crease running down front cover. FINE GRADES FINE / VERY FINE : 7.0 Slightly better condition than FINE +: 6.5, but in lesser condition than the grade above. FINE+ : 6.5 FINE : 6.0 FINE- : 5.5 This comic is definitely a well-read copy but can still be a very desirable copy. · This could have one major defect like a larger piece out of the cover (1/4 inch to 1/8 inch) or a one-inch plus tear. · It has stress lines around the staples and creases from the opening and closing of the cover. · The whiteness of the pages has been changed to off-white to yellowish color. · This could have a reading or subscription crease or a rolled spine, but is not damaged enough to reduce eye appeal dramatically. · Some discoloration, fading in colors and even minor soiling is allowed. · The cover and/or inside pages could have minor tears and/or folds · Cover can be loose from one staple, but cover cannot be completely detached from interior. · Pages and inside covers could be brown but not brittle. · Depending on the grade of the copy certain amounts are available in this grade. i.e a book that looks 8.0 with a piece of tape on the interior cover is acceptable in this grade.
