Rare-printing Error Silver Surfer #6 (1969) Nm
Silver Surfer volume 1, #6 in NM- condition. John Buscema Cover and Artwork, Stan Lee Story. Overlord 1st appearance and Death.
Artwork by Sal Buscema, Frank Brunner and Syd Shores. Exceptional copy which is also a rare printing error, where this book was manufactured with only one staple.
The book and binding is all together, everything is in place, and nothing is loose. This is a bigger 64 page book, and it is amazing that it is held together firmly, as if no staples were ever omitted. Sits flat, high sheen gloss, rich, bold and vibrant colors, extremely light surface/corner wear, excellent page quality, pages are soft, supple, smooth and clean, W/OW pages. Just a stunning book altogether. The first two photos are actual high definition scans of the comic book. Additional photos are provided for you to make the best decision before purchasing. As everyone knows, grading can at times be subjective. I use the Overstreet grading scale in determination for the grades listed, but look at the photos for your assessment.Overstreet definition for the range of NM. 9.2 NEAR MINT- (NM-): Nearly perfect with only a minor additional defect or defects that keep it from Near Mint.
A limited number of minor bindery/printing defects are allowed. A light, barely noticeable water stain or slight foxing that does not detract from the beauty of the book is acceptable for this grade. Cover is flat with (almost) no surface wear. Inks are bright with only the slightest dimming of reflectivity.Generally well centered and firmly secured to interior pages. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. A 1/16-1/8 bend is permitted with no color break. Small, inconspicuous, lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable as long as they are in an unobtrusive location. No soiling, staining or other discoloration apart from some slight foxing.
Spine is tight and flat. No spine roll or split allowed. Staples may show some discoloration.
No staple tears are allowed; almost no stress lines. In rare cases, a comic was not stapled at the bindery and therefore 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 (no worse than) off-white to cream, supple and fresh. No hint of acidity in the odor of the newsprint. Slight interior tears are allowed.
