FREE: Old DC Detective Batman Comic Book

Near Mint-Almost Perfect with virtually no wear. No significant printing flaws. Covers must be essentially lustrous with sharp corners. Spine is tight as new. In older comics, minimal color fading is acceptable, as is slight aging of the paper.
Very Fine-Well preserved, still pleasing in appearance. There are small signs of wear, most particularly around the staples of the spine. Most luster is readily visible. Corners may no longer be sharp but are not rounded. Typical of a comic read only a few times and then properly stored (these are what most comics are that you find in boxes at your local comic shop).

FineClean, presentable, with noticeable signs of wear. Some white may show through around the staples and moderate rounding of the corners. No tape or writing damage. Book still lies flat.
Very GoodA well worn reading copy with some minor damage, such as creasing, small tears, or cover flaking. Some discoloration may be evident, with obvious wear around the staples. Little luster remains and some rolling of the spine may be seen when the comic is laid flat on a table.
Good-A fully intact comic with very heavy wear. Tears, cover creases, flaking and rolled spine will be evident. No tape repairs are present.
Fair-A comic that has definitely seen better days. Comic may be soiled and damaged on the cover and interior. Entire comic is completely intact.
Poor- damaged to unrecognizable. Interior or exterior pages may have cut-outs or writing. The cover may be missing. Missing or tape repaired pages may be present.

you can google comic grading! I don't grade other peoples comics, way too subjective, this is a great issue with a cool story, I bought it new off the shelf in 1968, oops, dated myself! have a great day!
