It is a flat, tight book with no or almost imperceptible cover creases. The overhang may bend and have a few very small creases or tears but none large enough to affect visual appearance. FINE-(FN): A sharp copy with minor defects. Very minor tears, a minor 1/8 inch chip out of the overhang. A flat tight book that may be similar to a VF but doesn't have that freshness or gloss. VERY GOOD-(VG): A copy with a number of milder defects. Mild creases with very small chips from the edges. At this grade the edges are starting to have numerous small tears and creases. Minor wrinkling and small pieces of the spine may be missing. Mild fading and could have some tape on the spine. GOOD: A worn copy, typical of an older magazine. Numerous defects including more severe creasing, fading, wrinkling, and/or larger chips from the cover and the spine may be taped. FAIR: A very worn copy, our lowest grade. This grade may have defects that include large pieces out of the front cover, a missing spine, and significant soiling but still readable. astounding #astoundingSF #astoundingsciencefiction #sciencefiction #astoundingstories #asimov #heinlein #hubbard #pulpfiction #pulp #pulps #sciencefiction #scifi #sci-fi #vintagepulp #vintagepulps #amazingstories #weirdtales #dimenovels #detective #thrillingdetective #street&smith #vintagemagazines #collectiblemagazines #Wasso #Freas
