This is a solid low grade copy of Fantastic Four #48 featuring the first appearance of Silver Surfer and Galactus. I am NOT a professional grader. I will explain the defects in detail below and copy and paste the description of a VG and GD copy from the Overstreet guide. I believe it's between a 3.0 and 4.0 rating.
VERY GOOD (VG) (ONE 3.5-4.5): The average used comic book. A comic in this grade shows some wear, can have a reading or center crease or a moderately r...olled spine, but has not accumulated enough total defects to reduce eye appeal to the point that it is not a desirable copy. Some discoloration, fading and even minor soiling is allowed. As much as a ¼’ triangle can be missing out of the corner or edge. A missing square piece (1/8” by 1/8”) is also acceptable. Store stamps, name stamps, arrival dates, initials, etc. have no effect on this grade. Cover and interior pages can have some minor tears and folds and the centerfold may be detached at one staple. The cover may also be loose, but not completely detached. Common bindery and printing defects do not affect grade. Pages and inside covers may be brown but not brittle. Tape should never be used for comic book repair; however, many VG condition comics have minor tape repair.GOOD/VERY GOOD (GD/VG) (ONE 3.0): A comic book that has enough positive qualities to keep it better that a GD+, but has enough detracting qualities to keep it from being a VG-. In most cases the comic book has a better appearance than a GD+.GOOD (GD) (ONE 1.8-2.5): A copy in this grade has all pages and covers, although There may be small pieces missing inside; the largest piece allowed from front or back cover is a ½” triangle or square ¼” by ¼”. Books in this grade are commonly creased, scuffed, abraded, soiled and may have as much as a 2” spine split, but are still completely readable. Often, paper quality is low but not brittle. Cover reflectivity is low, and in some cases, completely absent. This grade can have a moderate accumulation of defects, but still maintains its basic structural integrity.This comic has good eye appeal overall. There is no single defect that significantly reduces eye appeal in my opinion. It does have a lot of cover wear including creases, small tears, spine stress, but no major pieces of the cover are missing. There is a 3/4" tear on the middle right side of front cover and has tape at this spot on the back side of the cover. No stamps or writing on the cover or back cover. Bottom staple of centerfold is detached on the back cover. The front cover is loose, but is attached. Comic is complete and is a solid overall copy of a key book. You could always get it graded by CGC to confirm the grade. See close up photos (not enhanced) and let me know if you'd like to see more or have any questions. Thanks!
