Condition assessment follows a standard grading scale (NM, VG, F, etc.). Key areas to examine include cover (creases, tears, fading), spine (chipping, cracking), pages (staining, tears, foxing), and staples (rust, looseness). Use a bright, even light source and a magnifying glass. Grading resources (CGC, PGX) provide detailed descriptions and examples of each grade. It's often helpful to compare your comic to professionally graded examples.
