Comic Book Grading Scale

This is a mid grade item. It will have a few minor defects and will generally appear to be in "slightly used" but not "roughly used" condition. Defects allowed on an item in this grade may include minor corner wear (bends and blunting), small/light accumulation of dents, bends or folds, and light spine wear. Most comics, magazines, and books published in the last 30 years that have been read one or more times but carefully handled and stored will fall in this grade range.
