I am not an official 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 overall condition, with a solid spine and great overall inside pages (photo#15 example). Its main flaw is a back cover indent/ding/crease, but otherwise it has few and lesser signs of primarily external wear, all described below.


**Photo#4: 
-Upper spine corner: Tiny tear where it meets the front cover, light scuffing around.

**Photo#5: 
-Lower spine corner: Light scuffing. 

**Photo#6: 
-Front cover top edge: Light if any shelf-wear/scuffing.
-Outer corner: Small scuff/bend/cover peel, goes thru ~10 pages as a tiny indent, and ~1/4 pages as a light bend.

**Photo#7:
-Front cover bottom edge: 3 small scuffs/indents around its middle, otherwise light if any shelf-wear/scuffing.
-Outer corner: Small scuff/bend/cover peel, goes thru ~1/4 pages as a light bend.

**Photo#8: 
-Back cover top edge: 2 small scuffs/indents towards the spine corner, otherwise light if any shelf-wear/scuffing.
-Outer corner: Small indent/scuff/bend, goes thru ~3 pages as a light indent, and thru ~25 as a light bend.

**Photo#9:
-Back cover bottom edge: Small scuff/indent near its middle, ~2" of scuffing near spine corner.
-Outer corner: Tiny scuff, goes thru ~5 pages. 

**Additionally: Front cover possesses a very light scuff/indent near/parallel the page edge (photos#10,11 w/illumination), shows on ~3 pages as a light indent (photo#12), and thru the book as a very light curl/bend. Three nearby ~1" light creases/depressions (also in photos#10, 11). Back cover has a ~3" crease and ~5" indent stemming from a ~1" ding/indent on the page edge near its middle (photo#13 w/illumination), shows on ~20 pages as a ~4" indent (photo#14 example).

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 any books between pieces of cardboard, with either a bubble or cardboard mailer, or a box 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 try to combine shipping, just message me before purchase! Thanks, and have an amazing day!
