Verified report

Visible condition

• Top left corner: slightly blunted/soft
• Top edge near left: faint stress or micro bending under bag glare
• Top right corner: minor rounding
• Bottom right corner: minor rounding and subtle softening
• Bottom left corner: soft/blunted
• Spine: at least one or two possible color-breaking spine ticks in center and lower spine (through bag glare)
• Some light creasing or waviness mid-spine (not fully clear if just bag distortion but needs mention)
• Bag gives overall surface glare and some distortion

Comic cover is visible in a clear bag. Corners generally show minor to moderate blunting and rounding, typical for VF range. Spine presents subtle ticks (possibly color-breaking) and minor waviness or stress lines, possibly accentuated by the bag. No major tears, chips, or heavy creases evident. Central cover and color are strong. Comic appearance is consistent with Very Fine+ (8.5) grade, but bag glare/interference prevents a confident assessment of gloss, subtle creases, or surface scuffs, so grade is conservative. Estimate is based solely on what can be observed through the bag.
