Grade Grade:      VERY FINE 8.0
If you aren't familiar with our grading scale: I am not a professional comic grader but have many years of collecting experience.  Please see the descriptions below and the photos of the item offered for sale to verify the grade.
This is a high-grade item.  It will have a few minor defects, but is in overall excellent condition. It will generally appear to be in "slightly used" but not "roughly used" condition.  Acceptable defects allowed in this grade are minor and may include: Minor corner wear (bends and blunting), a small/light accumulation of dents, bends or folds less than ¼” (some color-break allowed in a bend/fold), light spine stress that may include color-break.  Most well kept modern 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.

This is a beautiful collectible copy.  This item has excellent cover gloss.  There are a few spine stresses.  The one at the top of the lower staple has a small color break.  The staples are tight at the cover and centerfold.  The paper has an OWL paper whiteness grade of 8 or slightly off-white.  Please see the photos in the listing.
