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 to very good condition, especially when considering its age, with a solid spine and excellent overall inside pages (photo#13 example). It has some mostly lighter and primarily external signs of wear.



**Photo#4: 
-Upper spine corner: Light scuffing.

**Photo#5:
-Lower spine corner: Very light scuffing.

**Photo#6: 
-Front cover top edge: ~1/2" scuff/indent near spine corner, otherwise little if any shelf-wear/scuffing.
-Outer corner: Small scuff/bend, goes thru ~1/2 pages as a light bend, and thru ~20 pages near book's middle as a tiny indent.

**Photo#7:
-Front cover bottom edge: ~1/2" scuff/indent near the spine corner, another near its middle (photo#10 w/illumination), otherwise light levels of shelf-scuffing/wear.
-Outer corner: Small/light horizontal indent nearby corner. Small indent/scuff/bend at corner itself, goes thru ~12 pages as a light indent/bend. 

**Photo#8: 
-Back cover top edge: Light if any shelf-scuffing/wear.
-Outer corner: Small/light vertical indent/depression nearby corner (photo#11 w/llumination). Tiny indent/scuff/bend at corner itself, goes thru ~1/2 pages as a light bend.

**Photo#9:
-Back cover bottom edge: 3 small scuffs spread around it, otherwise light if any shelf-scuffing/wear.
-Outer corner: Minimal wear.

**Additionally: Front cover possesses 3 small indents and a patch of light scratching near the spine corner's lower half. Small indent/depression near bottom edge's middle, 2 more tiny/lighter ones near cover's center. Back cover has a ~1"x~1" patch of sticker residue near the bottom edge (photo#12 w/illumination - 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 a tremendous day!
