Corners are cut square and sharp with ever so slight blunting permitted. Staples are generally centered and clean with no rust. Cover is well centered and firmly secured to interior pages. Paper is supple and like new. Spine is tight and flat.

VERY FINE (VF (8.0), VF+, VF/NM (9.0)) An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. Sharp, bright and clean with supple pages. Pages and covers can be yellowish/tanning (at the most) but not brown and will usually be off-white to white. Light spine wear is permissible. Most comics from the past ten years or so that have been well taken care of will fall somewhere is this category.

FINE (FN (6.0), FN+, FN/VF) An exceptional, above average copy that shows minor wear but still relatively flat, clean and glossy with no subscription crease or brown margins. Typical defects include: light spine wear, minor surface wear, a light crease, minor yellowing/tanning to interior pages. Compared to a VF, cover inks are beginning to show a significant reduction in reflectivity but is till highly collectable and desirable.

VERY GOOD (VG (4.0), VG+, VG/FN) The average used comic book, that has not been taken care of by proper handling and bag & boarding, most commonly found. The comic shows moderate wear but eye appeal has not been reduced to the point that it is not desirable. One or two minor markings on the cover or minor spine roll are allowed. Lightly creased along spine or extremities, subscription crease, loose centerfold, or minor chip or piece missing allowed. GOOD (GD (2.0), GD+, GD/VG) This comic has all pages and covers, although there may be rips or tears. Commonly creased, scuffed, abraded, books in this grade are completely readable.
