The Watcher stories from Tales of Suspense #47, #49-51, #53, #55-56.
When I say a comic appears to be in the Very Good (VG) range, I believe it could grade roughly 3.0 to 5.0.
When I say a comic appears to be in the Good (GD) range, I believe it could grade roughly 1.8 to 3.0.
I'd say issue #9 is a 1.5.
#1 - Graded Very Good Minus (VG-) by reputable dealer: Some spine stress and edge wear to covers. Fore edge corners show some creasing. Minor soiling shows on back cover.
#2 - Appears in the Very Good (VG) range (Purchased as Very Good/Fine (VG/FN) from an eBay seller with 100% feedback): 1/4" spine split at bottom binding corner. Cover has small numbers written in red ink running 3/8" x 5/8".
#3 - Appears in the Very Good (VG) range: Numbers stamped at top of front cover, 4 digits running 7/8". Appears to have never been stapled at the top, but the book is tight and solid because of the way these books were glued together.
#4 - Appears in the Very Good (VG) range: Faint black ink transfer on back cover from another comic. Light foxing near top of inside back cover.
#5 - Appears in the Very Good (VG) range: 1/2" spine split at top of front cover
#6 - Appears in the Good (GD) range: Small holes to front cover at the top of both staples. Top hole is 1/8" and bottom hole is just the size of a pin hole. 3/8" spine split at bottom of front cover with corresponding color-breaking crease across the bottom of the cover. Color breaking creasing down left side of front cover along spine. Light soiling to back cover.
#7 - Appears in the Very Good (VG) range: 1/4" spine split at top of cover and slight split at bottom of front cover (<1/8"). Numbers neatly written at top of front cover running 3/4" x 1/4". Light soiling to white cover. Light creases or bends from typical reading.
#8 - Appears in the Good (GD) range: 3/8" spine split to bottom of back cover. Color breaking creasing down left side of front cover along spine. Minor to moderate soiling to back cover.
#9 - Should grade Fair/Good (FR/GD) just due to spine splits: 4" spine split at top of front cover and 1 1/4" split at bottom of comic, front and back cover. Page 1 also has 4" split at top and staple tear. Not bad condition otherwise.
