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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These novels are in good to very good conditions, all with solid spines and great or better inside pages (photo#16 examples). They have some mostly lighter and external signs of wear spread throughout, all explained below, with their only collective flaw being some sticker residue on their back covers near the barcodes (photo#12 w/illumination - may come off; I prefer not to mess with them). Due to eBay's photo limit, with lots involving multiple books, I am not able to show the detailed looks I try to maintain, so if you would like any extra photos of a specific description/book, feel free to let me know! The TL;DR versions of each book's condition below is in blue italics, with the more in-depth collectors' paragraphs below them.
Any reference to certain areas of books can be seen in the photos above. The sections are:
