Comic is photographed in a clear bag, which limits ability to see fine surface and spine detail precisely—visible defects include multiple color-breaking spine ticks, blunted and rounded corners, moderate edge wear, a top edge crease, and light general waviness. These issues are consistent with mid-grade condition, aligning with a Fine- (5.5) or potentially VG/FN (5.0–5.5) assignment. The overall eye appeal is reasonable, but there are enough moderate visible flaws to keep the grade solidly in the mid-grade (FN) range.
