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 reading condition, with a solid spine and very good to great inside pages (photos#12 example). It does have a collection of signs of wear, although most are lighter and predominantly affecting its externals, with a few internal corner flaws, all described below. **Photo#3:-Spine edge: 3 light indents spread around it, light shelf-scratching along the edge, and small ding where the edge meets the back cover near the upper corner. **Photo#4: -Upper spine corner: Light scuffing/peeling along it, moderate scuff/peel where it meets back cover. **Photo#5: -Lower spine corner: Light scuffing/peeling mainly where it meets each cover. **Photo#6: -Front cover top edge: ~1" scuff/ding near its middle that causes a light crease/depression around it on the front cover, and shows lightly on ~3 pages. Otherwise light levels of shelf-scuffing along it, with one peel/scuff towards the outer corner that shows lightly on ~3 pages as well.-Outer corner: ~3/4" crease/scuff/bend around corner that goes thru ~1/2 pages as a light crease/bend and all as a light depression. Tiny peel at extreme corner that goes thru ~3 pages as a corner fold. **Photo#7:-Front cover bottom edge: Light shelf-scuffing/peeling spread around most of edge, tiny scuff towards the spine corner that shows lightly on ~18 pages.-Outer corner: Small scuff/bend/peel around corner, goes thru ~2 pages. **Photo#8: -Back cover top edge: 5 patches of light shelf-scuffing/peeling spread along it.-Outer corner: Two ~2" diagonal creases around corner that cause a fold on the cover, show on 1 page as creases, and thru the rest as a light depression. Smaller bend/scuff/peel at extreme corner that passes thru ~10 pages as a small crease, and ~1/2 pages as a light bend. **Photo#9:-Back cover bottom edge: Light levels of shelf-scuffing along most of it.-Outer corner: ~1.5" diagonal crease and depression around the corner that extends thru ~9 pages as a small corner fold, and all pages as a bend/light crease. Nearby ~1" diagonal crease. **Additionally: Front cover possesses a 1/2" horizontal indent near its top outer corner, some light but abundant shelf-scratching/scuffing around, and a tiny indent towards its spine edge (photo#10 w/illumination). Page edge has some light shelf-scuffing spread along it, a few of which show on ~3 pages lightly, and a tiny adjacent indent near its middle. Back cover has a ~3" vertical indent starting adjacent its top edge, with a nearby ding/crease that shows on ~2 pages lightly (both in photo#11 w/illumination). Page edge has a few small scuffs spread along it, and a very light cover lift. Light shelf-scratching/scuffing around the cover, with a vertical column of shelf-scuffing/depression near the spine edge. Book has a light bottom outer quadrant flex/bend. **Internally: First 2 inside cover pages have light vertical color-break/scuffs/indents spanning their height towards the page edge, with a ~2" perpendicular horizontal one that go to their page edge. Last ~16 pages have a small crease/ding near their page edge's middles -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 an awesome day!
