DC COMICS vintage postcard with survey questions for National Survey Club members to fill out and send back to Ed Lolacher, DC's Vice President of Circulation (1971) MY GRADING SYSTEM FOR COMICS I try to be fair and honest in my grading, and make every attempt to mention loose pages, stains, tears, binding damage, etc. Sometimes I find that a comic falls between two grades, in which case I will list it with a two-grade scale. NEAR MINT - MINT: I rarely use these grades, except when a comic is in truly exceptional condition. VERY FINE: very nice with virtually no major defects. FINE+: an even nicer copy, with minimal obvious defects. FINE: a nice copy, flat with minor creases; may have some spine stress, but no prominent defects. FINE-: better than VG+ but just a bit short of what I would consider Fine. VERY GOOD+: most of the comics I list fall into this grade; a typical read comic with obvious defects as noted; may have light back cover stains. VERY GOOD: fairly well-read with an accumulation of tears and defects as noted; may be heavily creased or spine-rolled; back cover stains may be present. GOOD: a complete but heavily-read comic; may be missing pieces of covers, loose covers, rolled spine or other noted damage. FAIR: a rough comic, with many defects including tears. missing pieces, water damage, spine wear, etc. POOR: no missing pages unless noted, but otherwise a pretty trashed comic; almost any and every damage may be present.
