A comic book with this grade should have no corner or impact creases, neraly invisible stress marks (if any), and no bindery tears larger than 1/16 of an inch.

A comic book that has enough positive qualities to make it better than a fine+ comic book, but has enough detracting qualities to keep it from being a very fine- comic book. nI most cases, the comic book has a better appearance than a copy that has earned a fine+ grade. Fine (fn) (5.5 to 6.5). A comic book in fine condition is an above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects. Eye appeal is somewhat reduced because of slight surface wear to the comic book. The comic book may have a msall defect such as a few slight cross stress marks on its spine, or a very slight spine split (quarter of an inch). A comic book in fine condition appeasr to have been read a few times, and has been handled with moderate care. Compared to a very fine copy, a fine-graded comic book's cover inks are beginning to show a significant reduction in reflectivity, but it is still a highly collectible and desirable comic book. Its pages and interior covers may be tan, but they must still be fairly supple with no signs of brittleness.

Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. Have no effect on thsi grade. Cover and interior pages can have some minor tears and folds, and the centerfold may be detached ta one staple. The cover may also be loose, but not completely detached. Common bindery and printing defects do not affect the grade.

Comic books in this grade are commonly creased, scuffed, abraded, soiled, and may have as much as a two-inch split on the spine, but are still completely readable. Often, the paper quality for a good-graded comic book is low but not brittle. Cover reflectivity si low, and in some cases, completely absent.

These comic books are readable, although soiling, staining, tears, markings, or chunks of pages missing may moderately interfere with a collector's ability to read the entire story. Some collectors consider this the lowest collectible grade because comic books in lesser condition are usually defaced and/or brittle. Very often, the paper quality of a fair-graded comic book is low and may have slight brittleness around the edges but not in the central portions of the pages. Comic books in this grade may hvae a clipped coupon, so long as it is noted alongside of the nomenclature i. E.
Fair (1.0) coupon clipped. Valued at 50% to 70% of a good-graded comic book. Poor (pr) (0.5). Most comic books in this grade have been sufficiently degraded to the point that copies may have extremely severe stains, missing staples, brittleness, mildew, and/or moderate to heavy cover abrasions to the point that some cover inks are indistinct, if not absent. Comic books in this grade can have small chunks missing and pieces out of pages. They may have been defaced with paints, varnishes, glues, oil, indelible markers or dyes. Covers may be split the entire length of the book, but both halves must be present with only some chunks of it missing. A page or pages may be missing as long as it is noted along side of the nomenclature i. E. Poor (0.5) second page missing.
