Grading Help: How much water allowed in a VF+?????

[nochips]

Can someone let me know how many water stains are allowed on a vf+ book??

 

One of ebay's finest sellers has a great comic for sale, but it's water damaged??

 

It still looks damp to me. Bid before everyone grabs it up!!!

I dunno....For me, at least, VF (even F+) or better should have no water damage. "Damage" done to this grade, IMO, should be from "normal" wear and tear from reading. Not from "acts of God".

I am thinking that any comic with 3 "round" corners, a bit of edge wear, water stain, a few stress cracks along the spine and just a bit of dirt on the cover = F.

 

If you bid on this comic and win, that's what you'll get.

 

Noway this is a VF+. / not even close.

i can smell that book from here....

Wow that's a mighty nice F- book disguised as VF+. Another quality piece offered by your friendly neighborhood grossly misgraded seller.

We have all read threads on the infamous stock wizard. He advertises books as 9.8 with chunks falling off the covers.

 

He now uses private auctions. Board members were emailing bidders to let them know he was a less than reputable. He has some wicked bad feedback.

 

Stay away, stay far away.

I did a very cursory count of the spine and counted 17 edge creases breaking color. That alone should not put i in the VF+ range, let alone the other defects cited.

Did anyone else notice that the infamous jgreen seems to be a satisifed Stockwizard customer?

I say almost no water is allowed on a comic of that grade. No way its a VF+.

 

F- is more like it. I hate over grading.

Dang, his unprecedented streak of 40 positives just ended

If he's good enough for JGreen........

Would agree with the other posts... any water damage would knock it out of the VF+ category and into the fine range as far as I'm concerned.

F-? How about VG at best.
