Following guidelines from the most current Overstreet Guide to Grading Comics, we grade this as FN (6.0). This item is an above average item that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serous defects. Eye appeal is somewhat reduced because of slight surface wear and accumulation of small defects, especially on the spine and edges. Item looks as if it has been read a few times and handled with moderate care. Some accumulation of minor bindery or printing defects is allowed. Minor wear is apparent on the cover/exterior, with minor to moderate creases. Inks show a significant reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are more common, as is minor staining, soiling, discoloration, and/or minor spotting (foxing). Penciled, stamped, or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor spine roll is allowed. There can also be a 1/4” spine split or sever color break in the spine. Staples show minor discoloration. Minor staple tears and a few slight stress lines may be present, as well as minor rust migration. The paper is dark tan to light brown and fairly supple with no sign of brittleness. No hint of acidity in the odor of the newsprint. No interior autographs or owner signatures. Centerfold may be loose but not detached. Any minor interior tears are in the margin.

NOTE: The FN grade is the most difficult grade to identify; it allows a wide range of defects to occur and that allows an increased level of subjectivity.
