Nice Book!!!

There are some "if's" associated with grading this since only pics of the cover front and back were posted.

Tape is allowed on books VG- 3.5 and below but tape cannot be used to increase the grade, a book with tape should be graded as if the tape were not present.

If the tape on the spine is not hiding a severe spline split (over 2") and the cover is not fully detached I feel this book is a...

3.0 GOOD/VERY GOOD (GD/VG):  Back to Top
A used comic book showing some substantial wear. Cover shows significant wear, and may be loose or even detached at one staple. Cover reflectivity is very low. Can have a book-length crease and/or dimples. Corners may be blunted or even rounded. Discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor to moderate soiling is allowed. A triangle from 1/4" to 1/2" can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" to 1/4" square is also acceptable. Tape and other amateur repair may be present. Moderate spine roll likely. May have a spine split of anywhere from 1" to 1-1/2". Staples may be rusted or replaced. Minor to moderate staple tears and moderate stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration. Paper is brown but not brittle. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present.

Well, that is helpful.  I won the auction for this book last night.  I imagine another potential buyer posted it prior to the auction closing.  Thanks!

The eBay seller of this book, uncanny stash, is a hack and shouldn't be trusted for grades

Hello drmanhattanite, this is my first purchase from uncanny stash and I've followed several of his auctions. If there's a reason to avoid his auctions, I'll certainly do so. Do you care any insight on that? Thank you for the heads up.
