Description
The Minnesota Collection of comic books is pre-owned and shows wear consistent with age and use. All comic books are UNGRADED and sold as is. Restorations unknown. Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description.
The collection has been inspected by a reputable MN-local consultant with 40-50 years of experience buying and selling comic books.
In conjunction with the consultant’s opinion, Luther Auctions has offered an estimate of condition on each comic book which aligns with the following traditional comic book grading scale. For lots containing more than one book, the estimated condition represents the average condition of all books included in the lot. *Note: Our opinion is not a guarantee of any future grading results by a third-party grading service.
•Mint: The holy grail. A flawless comic hot off the press. It has perfect color, complete gloss, and absolutely zero manufacturing or handling defects of any kind.
•Near Mint: Appears almost perfect at first glance. It may have only negligible handling wear, such as a microscopic, barely perceptible spine stress line.
•Very Fine: An excellent, above-average copy. It retains most of its original gloss, but close inspection reveals small flaws like tiny corner creases, light spine stress, or very minor edge wear.
•Fine: A solid "reader's copy" that shows minor wear but has full structural integrity. Gloss may be slightly diminished, and you might spot slight fading, corner blunting, or a slight spine roll.
•Very Good: Obviously read and handled. It has visible wear, including heavier creases, small tears, or minor discoloration, but it remains complete, intact, and totally readable.
•Good: A heavily read, well-loved, or improperly stored book. It will show extensive defects like prominent cover creases, a rolled spine, stains, or tape repairs, but it must still be a complete book with all its pages.
•Fair: Exhibits very heavy wear, missing chunks of cover, centerfolds loose from staples, or brittle pages. Usually kept for historical preservation or extreme rarity.
