We use the Overstreet grading definition.

Very Good (VG) comics are generally defined as "the average comic book." It technically rates a 4/10 and has been fairly well read. The cover usually shows moderate wear including creases, dimples, blunted corners. It may also have some combination of the following issues: May be loose at the staples. It may have significant spine roll, minor to moderate soiling, discoloration, fading and foxing. A missing piece up to 1/4" triangle is permitted. May have minor tape or other repairs. May have some writing on the cover. Interior pages may be browning. Please note, grading is subjective. We include a high definition scan of each comic and that is part of the condition.
