      NEAR MINT+ :9.6

      
      

      There is absolutely no difference in grades above 9.4, it is up to the sole discretionof the final grader at the encapsulation (grading) companies such as:

      1. HALO
      2. The comic MINT / NEAR MINT- GRADES 100% to 299% of NM 9.4 guide priceNEAR MINT :9.4
         NEAR MINT- :9.2

         This book is an excellent copy with great eye appeal.

         • This is close to mint with some minor defect.

           • A slight stress line by the staples.
           • The staples themselves are generally centered clean with no rust.
           • Maybe some of the color has chipped or flaked off the cover.
           • And again, the cover is flat with no surface wear; inks are bright with high reflectivity and very little fading. And those tricky corners are cut square and sharp with ever so slight blunting permitted.
           • You can tell that this comic has been stored properly and looks as new as the day it was printed.
           • All stress marks should be almost invisible and bindery tears must be less than 1/16 inch.
           • Only the most subtle binding and/or printing defects allowed.
           • Cover is fairly well centered and firmly secured to interior pages.
           • Paper is supple and like new.
           • Spine is tight and flat.
           • Unobtrusive date stamps or arrival dates in pencil or ink are acceptable.
           • Many pedigree collection comics have a notation on the cover or the interior of the comic and are considered a bonus to collectors as they help prove the provenance of the comic.
         VERY FINE / NEAR MINT GRADES 75% to 100% of NM guide priceVERY FINE / NEAR MINT :9.0

         Slightly better condition than VERY FINE +:8.5, but in lesser conditions than the grade above.

         VERY FINE+ :8.5
         VERY FINE :8.0
         VERY FINE- :7.5

         A VERY FINE comic book appears to have been read a few times and has been handled with some care.

         This one allows for some more defects.

         • Some of the above defects along with a small fold or crease in the cover.
         • Very few stress marks on spine.
         • A few small chips on the cover
         • The cover has some slight surface wear but still has its original gloss and there is nothing major wrong with it. Overall an exceptional, still very collectible.
         FINE GRADES 50% to 74% of NM guide priceFINE / VERY FINE :7.0

         Slightly better condition than FINE +: 6.5, but in lesser condition than the grade above.

         FINE+ :6.5
         FINE :6.0
         FINE- :5.5
         

         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.
         VERY GOOD GRADES 35% to 49% of NM guide priceVERY GOOD/FINE :5.0
         VERY GOOD+ :4.5
         VERY GOOD :4.0
         VERY GOOD- :3.5
         

         This comic is definitely a well-read copy, but can still be a very desirable copy.

         • Book is complete, but with major creases and or a spine roll.
         • There is almost low cover gloss or at most times none at all.
         • The inside paper quality is not good and yellow and small pieces of them may be missing.
         • If there is a piece missing from the cover, it should be no larger than a 1/2\" to 1/4\".
         • Books in this grade are almost always creased, scuffed, abraded and soiled, but completely readable. Tape on the comic is considered a defect in this grade.
         GOOD GRADES THIS IS THE AVERAGE GRADE OF A GOLDEN AGE COMIC 25% to 34% of NM guide priceGOOD/VERY GOOD :3.0
         GOOD+ :2.5
         GOOD :2.0
         GOOD- :1.8
         

         Good is really a misnomer, but represents a comic that is still readable with numerous defects.

         • All the defects of a VG comic plus more.
         • There is almost low cover gloss or most times none at all.
         • The inside paper quality is not good and yellow and small pieces of them may be missing.

         • Brittleness maybe a factor.

         (Cover-less/Covers/Pages or Single Wrap)

         This designation is only used for the purpose of authentication. Numerous collectors and comic fans will purchase cover-less comics to either read or to obtain a filler copy of a book for their collection. Cover-less books will typically sell for a percentage of the good condition value. Rare and key comic books that are cover-less in many cases may sell for a percentage of guide value depending on the specific comic title and issue number. Typically lower then the GD value, but can fluctuate based on buyer interest.

         • Book can been cover-less or be an incomplete partial comic (i.e. wraps).
         • Copies in this designation typically will in most cases be beyond collectible to the majority of the hobby.
         • Rare key comics and incomplete pages i.e. centerfolds are considered to be valuable for either restoration purposes or for individuals who just wish to own a piece of comic history.
