What guidelines do you use when evaluating comic books?
Here are the grades we use when evaluating comic books:
- MINT (M): This item is absolutely perfect in every way. As soon as it is touched it drops to Near Mint. Mint is an imaginary ideal that cannot be attained in the real world.
- NEAR MINT (NM): This item is almost perfect. Upon close inspection, one or two tiny imperfections may be found. This is the highest grade assigned to any item of ours.
- VERY FINE-NEAR MINT (VFNM): This item is an excellent copy with only minor imperfections such as a few tiny stress lines on the spine or a minor printing/binding defect.
- VERY FINE (VF): This item is an excellent copy with very slight wear beginning to show. It is still sharp, glossy, and clean.
- FINE-VERY FINE (FVF): This item is a glossy, clean copy with a number of small imperfections or slight wear such as tiny stress lines or slightly rounded corners.
- FINE (F): This item is an above-average copy that shows less than average wear. Typical defects could include a small corner crease or some loss of gloss on the cover.
- VERY GOOD-FINE (VGF): This item is a slightly better than average copy with some imperfections that keep it out of the higher grades. It is obviously handled but fairly well cared for; still basically a decent copy.
- VERY GOOD (VG): This item is a copy in average condition. Some wear is obvious but it is not damaged or soiled.
- GOOD-VERY GOOD (GVG): This item is a well-read copy with some significant defects such as tears, long creases, or writing, or perhaps several smaller but noticeable defects.
- GOOD (G): This item is a worn copy with an accumulation of defects such as tears, creases, writing, pieces out of the cover, etc.
- FAIR-GOOD (FR-G), FAIR (FR), POOR-FAIR (P-FR), POOR (P): These grades all indicate a very worn copy with many significant defects, such as tape, pieces missing, stains, or water damage, increasing in number and/or severity down the list.
- RANGE OF GRADES like “VG or Better”, “F to NM”: This indicates you will get a comic that is at least the lower grade and often will get a better quality issue.
NOTE: Comics listed as POOR condition have complete & readable stories, although parts of the cover or panels might be missing.
