Amazing Spider-Man #50 First Kingpin VG Range

  
VG Range (3.0 - 5.0). IMO, this comic is in the VG range: Complete; Staples attached, Creasing, 1/2 inch spine split, blunted corners but intact, staple tears, stress lines, still has some reflectivity. I used the following criteria to say it is in the very good range.

5.0 VERY GOOD/FINE (VG/FN): An above-average but well-used comic book. A comic in this grade shows some moderate wear; eye appeal is somewhat reduced due to the accumulation of defects.

Still a desirable copy that has been handled with some care. An accumulation of bindery defects is allowed. Minor to moderate cover wear apparent, with minor to moderate creases and/or dimples.

Inks have major to extreme reduction in reflectivity. Blunted corners are increasingly common, as is minor to moderate staining, discoloration, and/or foxing. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. A minor to moderate spine roll is allowed.

A spine split of up to 1/2 may be present. Staples may show minor discoloration.

A slight accumulation of minor staple tears and an accumulation of minor stress lines may also be present, as well as minor rust migration. In rare cases, a comic was not stapled at the bindery and therefore has a missing staple; this is not considered a defect.

Any staple can be replaced on books up to Fine, but only vintage staples can be used on books from Very Fine to Near Mint. Mint books must have original staples. Paper is (no worse than) brown to tan with no signs of brittleness.

May have the faintest trace of an acidic odor. Centerfold may be loose but not detached. Minor tears may also be present. 4.5 VERY GOOD+ (VG): Fits the criteria for Very Good but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the books appearance by a perceptible amount.

4.0 VERY GOOD (VG): The average used comic book. A comic in this condition shows some significant moderate wear, but still has not accumulated enough total defects to reduce eye appeal to the point that it is not a desirable copy.

Cover shows moderate to significant wear, and may be loose but not completely detached. Moderate to extreme reduction in reflectivity. Can have an accumulation of creases or dimples.

Corners may be blunted or abraded. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. Have no effect on this grade. Some discoloration, fading, foxing, and even minor soiling is allowed. As much as a 1/4" triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge; a missing 1/8" square is also acceptable.

Only minor unobtrusive tape and other amateur repair allowed on otherwise high grade copies. Moderate spine roll may be present and/or a 1 spine split. Minor to moderate staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as some rust migration.

Paper is (no worse than) brown but not brittle. A minor acidic odor can be detectable. Minor to moderate tears may be present. Centerfold may be loose or detached at one staple. 3.5 VERY GOOD (VG): Fits the criteria for Very Good but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the books appearance by a perceptible amount.

3.0 GOOD/VERY GOOD (GD/VG): 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. 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. Minor to moderate interior tears may be present.
