Jeff's Notes:   This is a candidate for mint grading (above 9.0) - I could not find a deficiency in this book.
 
Jeff's Philosophy:  I wish to preface my comments by stating that I am old.  I started reading comic books in the 1970's before professional grading services existed.  I then graduated to collecting and now I am enjoying the business of sharing the hobby with fellow fans.  All condition grades are ultimately in the eye of the grader.  I am not a professional grader but I am also not new to comic books and have examined tens of thousands of comic books of all ages and all conditions.  After all, should you desire I hope you read and enjoy the comic book and treasure it as part of your journey collecting comic books.  Until a comic book has value in excess of $50 it is hard to justify professional grading service.  Lower cost books are assigned low, mid or high grade.  I assign a grade to more expensive comics using principles laid out for decades in the Overstreet Grading Guides.  I don't intentionally grade low or high.  The comic may grade higher than my assigned grade.  It may grade lower.  I aim to be within a full grade at worse and spot on at best.  Above 9.0 is not common, a new concept to me and I often hesitate to assign a grade above 9.0.  I also don't immediately go to 6.0 due to age of the comic book.  Older print stock, printing machines and bindery processes often lead to conditions that are higher grade for a comic book of that era.  If I am higher than you, I apologize.  Knock on wood, so far I have not had a disagreement or issue occur in the process of selling on eBay.   I appreciate you as a fellow collector and I do buy and trade as well so make my contact if you like.  Please reach out to me if you truly have an issue and I will do my best to accomodate the situation.  I am human and mistakes do occur.  If the comic book is damaged in transit I can pursue a shipping insurance claim and if it comes through I will of course reimburse you.  Please look at the photos and read my notes. If in doubt do not buy.  I try to document the issues I note so that you can also note them and ultimately decide for yourself. Happy collecting, Jeff Owens, Magnitude 10 Comics.
