Comics, Cards & More!

Grading Guide I try to be a strict grader and since you are not able to examine the comic before hand, I try to undergrade slightly so that you will get a better book than you might expect.

Mint: Perfect. No excuses, no defects, nothing printed off center. An especially bright or visually attractive cover might get a Gem Mint, but I don't think I've ever seen an actual one of those in my 30+ years of collecting. Even new comics sometimes can't be classified as Mint.

Near Mint: A near perfect comic, but it will have a couple of tiny, minor flaws.

Very Fine: A few tiny flaws or wear spots. Visually, Very Fine comics look great but don't stand up to close scrutiny.

Fine: Light wear or several tiny flaws - usually things that are overlooked at first glance or don't really detract from the look of the comic. A small crease might be acceptable, but it would have to be small and not in a prominent spot.

Very Good: General light wear from several readings. A complete solid book. Creases are allowed, but not too many. No large pieces missing, but the corners might be worn and flakes gone along the edges.

Good: Worn, but complete. Lotsa wear and these have been read almost to death. Might have a coupon clipped out and/or some extra artwork added by a reader in the past. If you just need a reading copy or a filler, get a Good condition comic.

Less than Good: Junk - check the 5 / $1.00 bins at your local comic shop. They are usually filled with junk condition comics. If you have a lot of these, give them out to kids at Halloween.
