Description
Very Good (VG) condition. See guide below.
Comes with bag and backboard.
A comic in VG condition shows some significant wear, but has not accumulated enough total defects to reduce eye appeal to the point that it is not a desirable copy. A VG copy may have an accumulation of minor defects or one or two major ones. Acceptable defects on a VG copy include: Spine roll, 1/2" to 1" spine splits or other tears, a cover or centerfold that is detached at one staple, discoloration due to oxidation, and a moderate accumulation of water damage or staining.

Comic Grading Guide
Near Mint (NM): Nearly flawless, boasting vivid colors, a glossy sheen, and an immaculate appearance. The book should rest perfectly flat.
Very Fine (VF): Still sharp in appearance, with vibrant colors and gloss. It may exhibit a few minor stress marks on the spine or outer edge, with no creasing allowed.
Fine (F): Maintains its allure but may display more imperfections compared to VF. This could entail 4 or 5 stress lines, slight corner creases, minor edge tears, or general edge wear. No tape, substantial tears, or notable cover damage permitted.
Very Good (VG): A well-handled, read copy with visible wear on the spine and edges. Expect noticeable creasing on the cover and the possibility of a tear. A small piece of tape on or inside the cover is acceptable. Light soiling or staining may be present, and the spine might exhibit a slight roll.
Good (G): Resembles VG but with more frequent or severe blemishes. It might have a piece missing (though not too large) from the front or back cover.
Fair (F): Well-worn yet complete, potentially adorned with tape on the cover, tears, missing cover sections, staining, soiling, and substantial wear.
Poor (P): A heavily battered or incomplete copy, possibly missing large sections from the cover or lacking a back cover.
