The comic is visibly worn at all four corners, with moderate blunting, especially top left and bottom right, both showing stress or possible minor color break. The spine edge presents 3-4 small color-breaking ticks and some overall stress, indicating moderate handling. The right edge displays further color breaks and a light crease, while the bottom edge and surface show mild waviness, some likely from the bag but possibly from storage conditions. There is surface stress and minor soiling, but the overall eye appeal remains intact. Estimated conservatively as Fine- (5.5), due to the accumulation of moderate but numerous minor defects and visible edge wear. The entire grading is limited by glare and lower resolution due to bag/sleeve and the absence of a back cover or interior page inspection.
