▪️Condition and Grade: Assigned VF/NM (Very Fine / Near Mint) in-house grade
▪️Display Quality: Presents with rich cover gloss, sharp corner structure and flat, lay appeal.
▪️20 Directed-Light Photos: Documented various key angles studio Though the cover presents cleanly and virtually visually flawlessly, grade was reduced from NM/MT to VF/NM due to small (1/32 up from bottom edge & 1/2 Inch long) needle thin scratch or production flaw along bottom edge of cover, multiple small imprints or pressure points on both covers and a slight scuff at top corner. Documented under studio illumination to verify integrity of the spine, edges and surface.

High-grade outer cover suitable for display or slab submission; interior Bronze Age pages are readable, but delicate and best handled with elevated or archival care

Bagged and double-boarded (1 backing board added to outside of bag in front of cover for added protection) with archival boards and bags. Then double wrapped in bubble wrap and secured in an impact-absorbing Gemini Comic Flash Mailer with heavy-duty side and corner protection for secure transit.
