Front Cover:
Corners and Edges:
Corners are slightly blunted with minor wear.
Edges show some wear, particularly along the spine and bottom edge, with minor nicks and small tears.
Spine:
Spine exhibits multiple stress marks with some color breaking.
Slight spine roll and small creases near the top and bottom, but the cover remains firmly attached.
Surface and Color:
The cover colors are vibrant with minimal fading.
Surface shows minor creasing and handling marks, especially near the edges and spine.
Staples:
Staples are intact and show minor rust.
The cover is securely attached at the staples with slight wear around them.
Overall Cleanliness:
The front cover shows light soiling and typical signs of aging.
Back Cover:
Overall Condition:
The back cover has moderate soiling and some discoloration.
There are small tears, creases, and minor stains, particularly near the edges and corners.
Estimated Condition:
Considering the visible wear, stress marks on the spine, and overall aging, this comic would likely be graded in the "Fine/Very Fine" (6.0 to 7.0) range. Specific grades might include:
Fine (6.0 to 6.5):
Noticeable wear and creasing, small tears, and some soiling, but still structurally sound and presentable.
Very Fine (7.0 to 7.5):
Moderate wear with minor defects and aging, but generally well-preserved and appealing.
For an exact grade, a professional assessment by CGC or CBCS is recommended.
