This comic is being offered explicitly as a raw Mid-Grade / Reader copy.

It is 100% complete and fully intact, but it exhibits several distinct, permanent visual defects from years of reading and storage. Please review the detailed flaw breakdown below before purchasing:
Front Cover Flaws: Spine & Corners: Clear visual color-breaking stress lines along the spine. The top-right corner near the Comics Code Authority stamp is blunted with color loss. The bottom-right corner shows rounded wear and color rubbing. Edges: Mild chipping and rough texture along the outer right edge. Back Cover Flaws: Creasing: There is a distinct, heavy diagonal crease running through the lower half of the back cover, crossing through the LEGO tractor advertisement. This crease does break color/whiten the paper. Toning: Notable age-browning and yellowing concentrated heavily along all four edges and corners of the back cover stock. Surface Wear: General scuffing, minor smudging, and a loss of original glossy luster across the back cover. Spine & Staples: Staples show minor oxidation/aging but are completely firm and securely hold all interior pages. The spine has slight roll/misalignment from reading.

This book is priced strictly according to these defects.
