P.S. - I use Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide Grading Definitions:

9.4 NEAR MINT (NM): Nearly perfect withonly minor imperfections that keep it from the next higher grade. Minorfeathering that does not detract from the overall beauty of an otherwise highergrade copy is acceptable for this grade. The overall look is "as if it wasjust purchased and read once or twice." Subtle bindery/printing defectsare allowed. Bindery tears must be less than 1/16" on Silver Age and laterbooks, although on Golden Age books bindery tears of 1/4" have been noted.Cover is flat with no surface wear. Inks are bright with high reflectivity anda minimum of fading. Generally well centered and firmly secured to interiorpages. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted.A 1/16" bend is permitted with no color break. No creases. Small,inconspicuous, lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptableas long as they are in an unobtrusive location. No soiling, staining or otherdiscoloration apart from some slight foxing. Spine is tight and flat. No spineroll or split allowed. Staples are generally centered; may have slightdiscoloration. No staple tears are allowed; almost no stress lines. No rustmigration. In rare cases, a comic was not stapled at the bindery and thereforehas a missing staple; this is not considered a defect. Any staple can bereplaced on books Fine, but only vintage staples can be used on books from VeryFine to Near Mint. Mint books must have original staples. Paper is (no worsethan) off-white to cream, supple and fresh. No hint of acidity in the odor ofthe newsprint. Centerfold is firmly secure. Slight interior tears are allowed.
