It has been protected and no signs of use, reading issues like bends, spine curls or spine breaks causing color issues. There can be no noticeable issues and would make a perfect comic to grade.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nVery Fine to Near Mint (VF-NM) -  These comics are still very high grade comics and may very well grade near mint. This would be the most common grade we have for comics. If you are not buying the comic for pure comic grading investment purposes (ie to read or keep as an investment without submitting to professional grading services) you will be overjoyed at the condition of the comic(s). Many dealers would just grade near mint. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFine (F) - The comic is still a desirable comic but there are signs of reading, wear etc. there may be a small crease, curl etc. No major issues or tears, rips etc are on the comic.\u003cbr\u003e\nComics below fine, we do not sell, unless they are high end comics, Silver or Golden Age issues, and will describe the comic in the listing with scans as well.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n 📕📕📕📘 END OF COMIC GRADING 📘📕📕📕\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n🍁💶💶 We were a comic investor and not a comic reader and a large percentage of our comics have come directly from the comic store, into a comic bag with backing board at the store and remained there. Basically, no spine curls, bends etc.  Generally we will grade (VF-NM) for these comics. They will have white pages, no flaws but are graded by Us. They may even grade very high 9's with a CGC but there is no grade guaranteed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWe have picked up many collections also over the years and these comics will also often grade Very Fine to Near Mint. We do not sell poor grade or badly beat up comics unless they are silver or golden age and are extremely hard to find comics that still remain.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSilver age comics or ones with issues will grade lower but will be detailed.\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"The Banknote Man","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51829747941661,"sku":"Arak 1NS","price":13.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/6401\/3341\/files\/il_fullxfull.6190439036_qgdp.jpg?v=1780513889","url":"https:\/\/banknoteman.com\/products\/arak-son-of-thunder-1-1981-vf-nm-8-5-9-0-newstand-first-edition","provider":"The Banknote Man","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
