I am not a comics grader, but I try to be as thorough as possible when assessing books for any flaws. I don't believe in using a number grade system - to me they are mostly utilized as a method to be ambiguous about exact condition and/or individual imperfections - but I do attempt to describe anything other than minor cover shelf-scuffing/scratching in detail. If a certain flaw discussed below does not mention that it affects inside pages, then it does not.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This copy is in very good condition especially for its age, with a solid spine, great inside pages (photo#12 example), and minor levels of shelf-scuffing/scratching. It has a few lighter and predominantly external signs of wear.

-Upper spine corner: Light scuffing.

**Photo#5: 
-Lower spine corner: Tiny scuffs where it meets each cover. 

**Photo#6: 
-Front cover top edge: Little if any shelf-wear.
-Outer corner: Tiny scuff/bend, goes thru ~1/3 pages as a light bend.

**Photo#7:
-Front cover bottom edge: Some shelf-scuffing along it - more prominently towards the spine corner, and lighter towards the outer corner.
-Outer corner: ~1/2" crease/scuff/bend, goes thru ~5 pages as a light indent, and ~2/3 as a light bend.

**Photo#8: 
-Back cover top edge: 2 small patches of tiny scuffs towards the spine corner, otherwise light if any shelf-wear.

I both buy to read as well as sell TPBs on here, so I understand how aggravating it is to receive a comic damaged in transit. I always pack books firmly between pieces of cardboard (among other materials/layers) via Gemini Comic mailers or bubble mailers depending on size; usually utilizing boxes for larger lots. If you have any questions or would like any additional photos, feel free to let me know. I'm always happy to combine shipping costs - either message me before completing purchase for a pre-payment price adjustment, or alternatively I can provide a refund afterwards. Thanks, and have an excellent day!
