VERY FINE

Very Fine is a category we have recently added to take into account the close scrutiny that higher grade books have been receiving in today's comics market. Under the standards of pre-2000, almost all of these books would have been classified as NM. Since the advent of professional grading, however, there has been increasing attention paid to comics with even very minor flaws. That being the case, we have shifted our standards to be even more picky, and now shift comics with very minor, but noticable flaws into the Very Fine category. Here are specifics of Very Fine:

Tears: One up to 1/4".

Corner Bends : Only if barely noticable.

Spine Stress: A few very fine spine stress lines are allowable in this grade.

Staples: Only very minor wear or stress tears allowed.

Tape: No tape of any kind allowed in this grade.

Writing: Only arrival dates on front cover, or very small interior (or back cover) notes, such as a person's name, or price are allowed.

Water Damage: Only the very lightest of humidity yellowing (foxing) would be allowed in this grade. Absolutely no water stains.

Browning: Only very slight browning is allowed in this grade, but dust shadow lines (if small) are acceptable.

Rubber stamps: Neatly placed date stamps are allowed.

Missing Pieces: A very tiny front cover piece up to (1/16" square) or a slightly larger back cover piece (1/8" square) are allowed to be missing on an otherwise beautiful copy.

Folds: It is not unusual for comics in this grade to have some very small corner folds.

Fingerprints: Only one, or at most two, barely noticable fingerprints allowed. While this category allows for many minor flaws, it does not allow for them in combination. If, for example, a comic had a small tear and two very small (but noticable) corner folds, we would then probably lower the grade to "Fine."

Taking into account the capricious nature of CGC grading, comics in this grade can be expected to grade out with CGC at 6.5 (Fine+) - 9.4 (Near Mint). If you receive a CGC grade of under 6.5 on any book you purchase from us, after January 1, 2003, in Very Fine, return the book to us and we will refund your purchase price, plus the cost of the CGC grading.
