Description: DC Comics, Superman #264 (1973) Secret of the Phantom Quarterback, Bates Swan. Almost 50 years old, this Superman title features Curt Swan art and an awesome storyline. The comic interior is in really nice condition, with some pretty significant cover damage. Check the photos. I think you'll agree that this is a perfect way for a Superman fan to get ahold of a vintage title without breaking the bank. While I'm not a professional grader (and my grading is certainly subjective--truth be told, I'm a sports card collector who just came into these comics), I believe this fits the traditional description of a "Fair" item (see below) Comic will be shipped in a bag with a board, and in a cardboard comic book mailer. (Of note: These comics were unearthed in a pretty awesome estate find recently. I've been told that some of them have a musty odor. I must confess, I can't smell it; but my sense of smell isn't all that keen.) *Zoom in and check photos above, as comic book pictured is comic book sold* 1.0 FAIR (FR)Shows heavy wear. Some collectors consider this the lowest collectible grade because comic books in lesser condition are usually incomplete and/or brittle. Cover may be detached, and inks have lost all reflectivity. Creases, tears and/or folds are prevalent. Corners are commonly rounded or absent. Soiling and staining is present. Books in this condition generally have all pages and most of the covers, although there may be up to 1/4 of the front cover missing or no back cover, but not both. Tape and other forms of amateur repair are more common. Spine roll is more common; spine split can extend up to 2/3 the length of the book. Staples may be missing or show rust and discoloration. An accumulation of staple tears and stress lines may be present, as well as rust migration. Paper is brown and may show brittleness around the edges but not in the central portion of the pages. Acidic odor may be present. Accumulation of interior tears. Chunks may be missing. The centerfold may be missing if readability is generally preserved. Coupons may be cut.
