COMIC GRADE DETAILS:
NM – “Near Mint”
(Note: There is a distinction between "Mint" and "Near Mint") - A nearly
perfect copy. Only a few very minor defects. Acceptable defects on a
Near Mint copy may
include: minor color breaks from the printing process, a very small
amount of
spine stresses, very minor instances of denting (two or three at most),
slight
corner blunting, and minor (less than 1/8") bends without color breaks.
Sometimes it’s possible for a brand new comic shipped from
the publisher, distributor or purchased new from a store, to already be in less
than near mint condition due to the way the comic was produced, shipped,
stored, or handled prior to purchase.
VF/NM – “Very Fine/Near Mint” Are nearly perfect
copies that may fall short of Near Mint but are still, condition wise, above
Very Fine. VF/NM are comics with minor imperfections that fall between the VF
and NM grades. Imperfections may include any of the following: a very small
amount of spine stresses, very minor instances of denting (two or three at
most), slight corner blunting, and minor (less than 1/8") bends without
color breaks. Minor corner wear, a light accumulation of spine stress that may
include color-break, a light accumulation of dents, and bends or folds less
than 1/4" or minor color breaks from the printing process.
VF - A “Very Fine” copy has minor defects, but
overall is in excellent condition. Acceptable defects on a VF are typically
minor and may include: minor corner wear, a light accumulation of spine stress
that may include color-break, a light accumulation of dents, and bends or folds
less than 1/4" (note that on a VF copy, some color-break is allowed in a
bend/fold).
If you have specific questions about the EXACT condition of
the comic you are purchasing, please contact us prior to purchase.
FN - "Fine" Typically considered "above average" but still shows some wear due to either an accumulation of minor defects or one or two
moderate defects. Acceptable defects on a FN copy typically include: Minor spine roll, a moderate
amount of spine stresses that may break color, a spine split of less than 1/2", minor water
spotting/residue (smaller than a dime), an impacted corner, moderate foxing.
VG - "Very Good" Usually shows some significant wear, but generally does not have enough total
defects to make it undesirable. Accumulation of minor defects or one or two major ones. VG comics may
include: Spine roll, 1/2" to 1" spine splits or other tears, a cover/centerfold that is loose at
one staple, discoloration (from oxidation), and/or a moderate accumulation of water damage or
staining.
GD - "Good"
Major defects, but still intact and readable. Will usually have a
significant amount of damage, a collection of smaller defects alongside
some
major defects. Defects on a GD copy may include: A vertical crease
running the books length, 1.5"-2"
spine split, cover/centerfold completely separated, major tears, heavy
discoloration/brittleness from oxidation, heavy amounts of staining,
residue, and/or water damage.
