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 good external condition, and very good internal. It has a solid spine, great hardcover (photo#11), and excellent inside pages (photo#12 example). Some signs of wear outside, most of which are lighter and affecting its jackets.

**Photo#4:

-Upper spine corner: Jacket has some scuffing/indenting. Small ding/indent where it meets the back cover that causes a ~1" indent/depression around the corner on the back jacket, and a light indent on the hardcover below.

-Lower spine corner: Light jacket scuffing. Small ding/indent where it meets the back cover that causes a small ding on the hardcover below.

**Photo#5:

-Front cover top edge: Light jacket scuffing from its middle to the spine corner. Light ~2" parallel/nearby indent towards the spine corner.

-Outer corner: Tiny jacket indent/scuff.

**Photo#6:

-Front cover bottom edge: Little if any shelf-wear. Very light jacket flaring around its middle.

-Outer corner: Minimal wear. Hardcover below has a tiny/light scuff.

**Photo#7:

-Back cover top edge: Small/light indents populating the jacket edge from its middle to the spine corner (photo#9 w/illumination). ~3.5" nearby/parallel indent from the edge's middle to the outer corner, with light scuffing on the edge part.

-Outer corner: Small jacket indent around corner, shows lightly on hardcover below. Small jacket scuff at extreme corner.

**Photo#8:

-Back cover bottom edge: ~1" scuff towards the outer corner, otherwise light jacket shelf-scuffing.

-Outer corner: Small jacket scuff/peel.

**Additionally: Front jacket has 6 small-to-~1/2" indents/depressions spread along it (photo#10, left half photo), 1 shows lightly on the hardcover below. ~1/2" diagonal indent/depression on front jacket near page edge's middle. Back jacket possesses a very light vertical scratch/scuff spanning most of its height towards the page edge (photo#10, right half photo). Light ~1/2" indent adjacent the page edge near its middle. ~2"x~1" patch of light scuffing/cover residue near the top outer corner. Retailer's sticker over the barcode near the lower spine corner (might come off; I prefer not to mess with them).

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 amazing day!
