This copy of Iron Man 2 has some cover wear showing mostly as stress lines along the spine and a few small corner creases. The interior is in super shape. According to my understanding of Overstreet, this falls securely into theFine+, 6.5 category.The following quotes the current edition Overstreet Guide on the grades from 8.0 to 5.5, and is from page 152. Please note these are not descriptions of this comic. 8.0 Very Fine (VF): An excellent copy with outstanding eye appeal. Sharp, bright and clean with supple pages. A comic book in this grade has the appearance of having been carefully handled. A limited accumulation of minor bindery defects is allowed. Cover is relatively flat with minimal surface wear beginning to show, possibly including some minute wear at corners. Inks are generally bright with moderate to high reflectivity. A 1/4" crease is acceptable if color is not broken. Stamped or inked arrival dates may be present. No obvious soiling, staining or other discoloration, except for minor foxing. Spine is almost flat with no roll. Possible minor color break allowed. Staples may show some discoloration. Very slight staple tears and a few almost very minor to minor stress lines may be present. No rust migration. In rare cases, a comic was not stapled at the bindery and tfore 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 tan to cream and supple. No hint of acidity in the odor of the newsprint. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. 7.5 Very Fine- (VF-): Fits the criteria for Very Fine but with an additional defect or small accumulation of defects that detracts from the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 7.0 Fine/Very Fine (FN/VF): An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with outstanding eye appeal.

No hint of acidity in the odor of the newsprint. Centerfold is mostly secure. Minor interior tears at the margin may be present. 6.5 Fine+ (FN+): Fits the criteria for Fine but with an additional virtue or small accumulation of virtues that improves the book's appearance by a perceptible amount. 6.0 Fine (FN): An above-average copy that shows minor wear but is still relatively flat and clean with no significant creasing or other serious defects.
