Aspen Comics Joe Benitez's Lady Mechanika #1 + #2 Apr 2012 VF+ / NM / Unread

Description: Aspen Comics Joe Benitez's Lady Mechanika #1 + #2 Apr 2012 VF+ / NM / Unread(our ref 115413) Condition: New Other - I'm grading these between Very Fine + and Near Mint. These have come from a comic shop closing down sale, and so are mostly old but new stock so technically most have never been read (I guess customers could have flicked through them though), so possibly some light corner / edge wear as would be expected from a comic shop purchase. Originally stored in Comic boxes. Please note that I am not an experienced comic grader although I try to be as objective as I can. I have sold a number of different comics over the years and have received good feedback, any issues I will try and resolve asap. I use the grading scale noted below. Size (approx):n/aWeight (approx): 200gramsNear Mint (CGC: 9.8-9.0) (Overstreet: 97-90) (Abbreviated as NM) Most new comic books will fall into this category. When buying new comics, be sure to go through them and pick out the best one. That crease will turn a Mint comic into a Near Mint. For a comic book to be considered, “Near Mint” it needs to meet the following criteria: The Cover There should be no creases. The cover should have no fading. The comic should lie flat and not roll or have curves. The cover may be slightly off center. The Spine The Spine should be straight with no rolling. Staples should be like new and not rusted. Minor bindery tears are acceptable no more than 1/16th of an inch. The Pages Only minor fading is allowed. There should be no stains or marks. There should be no tears or cuts. Overall: The comic should look like new. Very Fine (CGC: 9.0-7.0) (Overstreet: 89-75) (Abbreviated as VF) Beware if any older comic book is graded above this mark. Due to the nature of paper, discoloration is expected over time. Even then, for an older comic to be in the “Very Fine” category it needs to be pretty exceptional. Buyer beware. For a comic book to be considered, “Very Fine” it needs to meet the following criteria: The Cover The cover should be mostly flat but may have some wear. The colors of the cover may be slightly faded. Corners may be slightly creased. The Spine May have slight wear. The spine should be flat, but some lines may be visible. The Pages May have minor printing and binding defects. The pages may be yellowish in color. There should be no stains or major discoloration. Overall: The comic should still look good with only minor imperfections. Fine (CGC: 7.0-5.0) (Overstreet: 74-55) (Abbreviated as FN) The above average comic book. This might be a C or C+ comic book. Comics that have a lower grade than this are starting to show major signs of wear and tear. For a comic book to be considered, “Fine” it needs to meet the following criteria: The Cover There will probably be minor wear. Minor creasing is acceptable. The corners may be blunted. The Spine The staples may have some discoloration. Minor creases are OK. The spine may have a roll to it. The PagesThere may be minor tears on the edges. Very Good (CGC: 5.0-3.0) (Overstreet: 54-35) (Abbreviated as VG) This is the top of the bottom. Comics in this grade and lower will start to see more and more wear. For a comic book to be considered, “Very Good” it needs to meet the following criteria: The Cover My have a large amount of wear including creases, fading, and discoloration. A better copy with a piece of the cover missing will fall into this category. The cover may have a price sticker or date sticker. The Spine The spine may be rolled. The staples may have rust. The Pages The pages may be brown in color. A finer copy with a tear repaired with tape. May have minor printing defects. Overall: A very average used comic book. Good (CGC: 3.0-1.5) (Overstreet 14-5) (Abbreviated as GD) A below average comic book. For a comic book to be in this grade it may have major defects, but must still be readable. Most new comics in this condition will have little to no value. For a comic book to be considered, “Good” it needs to meet the following criteria: The Cover A detached cover is acceptable. Creases, fading and major discoloration available. Minor tears and folds. Coupons may be cut from the cover. The Spine The staples may discolored, rusted, or even absent. Creases and minor tears permitted. The Pages May have some obvious types of repair such as tape. The color of the pages may be brown. The pages should not be brittle. There may be small bits of the comic missing. There may be stains and other defects of the pages. Overall: A below average comic book. Fair (CGC: 1.5-1.0) (Overstreet 14-5) (Abbreviated as FR) For a comic book to be considered, “Fair” it needs to meet the following criteria: The Cover The cover may be detached from the comic. There may large amounts of wear including fading, discoloration, and stains. Coupons may be cut from the cover. Less than 1/12 of the cover missing is accepted. The Spine Major wear accepted. Staples may be missing. The spine may be split up to 2/3rds of the cover. The Pages The pages are often faded, discolored, torn, or stained, but must still be readable. Most of the page should not be brittle. Overall: Near the bottom of the barrel. Comics in this condition are still readable. Pages missing from the comic are not acceptable.
