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 overall condition, with a solid spine and great overall inside pages (photo#12 example). It does have some clear signs of wear spread around its covers, although most of the flaws are lighter in severity and affecting the book's externals. **Photo4: -Upper spine corner: Light scuffing. Small ding where it meets front cover, causes a tiny tear/peel at the corner, and a small indent around the corner on the front cover itself.-Lower spine corner: Light scuffing. Small dings/indents at/around where it meets each cover, causes a tiny peel where it meets the back cover. **Photo#5: -Front cover top edge: Light ~1/2" scuff near its middle, another towards the outer corner, otherwise light levels of shelf-wear along the edge.-Outer corner: Light ~3/4" indent around corner. Tiny indent/scuff/bend at extreme corner, goes thru ~20 pages as an indent, and thru ~2/3 as a light bend. **Photo#6 (w/illumination):-Front cover bottom edge: ~2" patch of scuffing/light cover indenting starting at spine corner, shows as some tiny scuffs/indents on ~6 pages. Light shelf-scuffing along the rest of the edge.-Outer corner: ~1.5" horizontal indent around corner, shows as a small/light indent near the corner on ~8 pages. Tiny scuff/bend at extreme corner, shows as a light bend on ~1/5 pages. **Photo#7: -Back cover top edge: Light scuffing along the edge. Four adjacent ~1/2" diagonal cover indents/depressions starting at edge near its middle (photo#9 w/illumination), shows as light scuffing on ~2 pages.-Outer corner: Tiny scuff/bend, goes thru ~1/6 pages as a light bend. **Photo#8:-Back cover bottom edge: Some light shelf-scuffing/wear along most of edge. Adjacent light ~3/4" diagonal cover indent/depression starting at edge towards the spine corner (photo#10 w/illumination), shows lightly on ~25 pages. Another smaller/lighter one closer to corner.-Outer corner: Tiny scuff/bend, goes thru ~10 pages lightly. **Additionally: Front cover possesses a light ~1" horizontal indent near the bottom edge, as well as light ~1/2" and small ones starting adjacent the page edge near the bottom outer corner. Light ~1" diagonal one starting adjacent the bottom edge towards the spine corner, with 2 nearby small dings/scratches. ~8 more small dings/depressions/indents spread around the cover, a few show lightly on ~3 pages. Back cover has a light ~3" vertical indent/depression starting adjacent the bottom edge near the spine corner, shows as a light ~1" indent on ~5 pages. Another crossing ~3" diagonal one that starts adjacent the spine edge towards the lower corner. Light ~1/2" crease/depression near cover's lower half, shows as a small/light indent on ~1/4 pages, growing lighter as is travels. ~1"x~1" patch of sticker residue near cover's bottom edge (photo#11 w/illumination, might come off with the correct substance; I prefer not to mess with them). Some light/mostly small scratches/streaks/scuffs/indents spread around the cover. Book's top and bottom outer quadrants, and the lower spine quadrant, all have light flexes/bends. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 superb day!
