This comic is definitely a well-read copy, but can still be a very desirable copy.
- This could have one major defect like a larger piece out of the cover (1/4 inch to 1/8 inch) or a one-inch plus tear.
- It has stress lines around the staples and creases from the opening and closing of the cover.
- The whiteness of the pages has been changed to off-white to yellowish color.
- This could have a reading or subscription crease or a rolled spine, but is not damaged enough to reduce eye appeal dramatically.
- Some discoloration, fading in colors and even minor soiling is allowed.
- The cover and/or inside pages could have minor tears and/or folds
- Cover can be loose from one staple, but cover cannot be completely detached from interior.
- Pages and inside covers could be brown but not brittle.
- Depending on the grade of the copy certain amounts are available in this grade. i.e a book that looks 8.0 with a piece of tape on the interior cover is acceptable in this grade.
