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 condition, with a solid spine and great inside pages (photo#12 example). Other than some outer corner bends, it has few and lesser signs of wear, mostly to its externals.

-Upper spine corner: Small peel/scuff where it meets front cover.

**Photo#5:
-Lower spine corner: Light compression, light scuff where it meets back cover.

**Photo#6: 
-Front cover top edge: Small scuff towards the spine corner, otherwise little if any shelf-wear.
-Outer corner: Small but moderate scuff/bend/cover peel, goes thru ~3 pages as a corner fold, ~1/2" as a light indent, and thru all as a bend.

-Outer corner: ~1/2" indent/scuff/bend (photo#10 w/illumination), goes thru ~15 pages as a light indent, and all as a light bend.

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 tremendous day!
