I like to detail the faults if any of the item in the description, but have the following criteria in my mind as I write the listing:

Mint (m) (9.8 to 10) The comic is printed perfectly, with no faults and perfectly centred. The cover has all its original gloss (if applicable): there are no signs of wear or aging (including white of pages), and the corners are sharp. I can't remember ever using this rather dangerous grading!

Near Mint (nm) (9.0 to 9.7) Any wear to the cover is so minor as to be nearly un-noticeable. The spine is tight with no roll at all. The cover has nearly all its original gloss (if applicable). Any printing defects are minor. Pages are white. Many new comics are in this grading tho I seldom find it possible to use it. For books they are invariably new and often in the publisher's shrink-wrap.

Very Fine (vfn) (7.5 t0 8.9) Some wrinkles at the staples are allowed and minor stress creases down the spine: it is clear the book has been read. There is some loss of the original gloss: there is no spine roll and any crease is minor. In general it is a nice comic. A paperback or hardcover that has been looked after will often be in this grading.

Fine (fn) (5.5 to 7.4). Certainly no writing on the cover or tape repair, but there may be more stress creases and one or two minor, short creases. Corners may be rubbed a bit. A well-read paperback or hardcover kept on an open shelf is often in ths grading.

Very Good (vg) (3.5 to 5.4). The original gloss is now gone, and there may be minor writing such as newsagents make, or other discolorations. There may be spine roll, larger corner creases or minor tears / splits. (Not all of these together tho!)   

Good, Fair, Poor . I don't usually sell in these grades. It would have to be a real rarity, and I would describe the faults in detail.
