Ok just a couple more before lunch, and then I'll be back with more this afternoon...

...this next one nearly killed me....pretty....but deadly.... 

[crassus]

Fantastic Four 24 6.5 (Bright with strong colours & superior gloss; presents much better and because of its gloss and white cover it hides the crses & feels in hand like a hg copy,  but a series of cb crses bring the grade down, specifically a long faint cb crse ur crnr fc & a smaller but sharper cb crse br crnr fc; additionally sm cb crse ul crnr bc & 3 faint cb crses bl crnr bc; otherwise light to mod spine & edge wear, mainly top edges fc & bc & r-edge fc with v v sm chip ur edge fc; slight ncb waviness near spine but zero evidence of moisture or humidity, likely production related; light cb spine stress; light staple stress; light ink transfer along the top edge fc; light foxing interior cvrs; light foxing & ink transfer bc; this was a very difficult book to grade and even now I'm not sure if the grade should be slightly lower or slightly higher, so in this case if you take the book and respectfully disagree with the grade I will also refund your return shipping) $80.00 SOLD
