<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2093876, member: 46237&quot;]Comic books are graded on a 10 point scale, where a 9.9 (MS) to 10 (Gem) is considered mint state. Near Mint, the equivalent of AU, is 9.0&nbsp; to 9.8 and is considered to be the typical range of new condition a reader would receive them in from a comic shop, accounting for some minor wear in transport. So while you&#039;re right that they consider wear to be wear for a comic book, it&#039;s not really analogous to coin grading. Unlike with coins, the comic book grading scale is based <i>entirely on condition</i> without a hard delineation between circulated/uncirculated or complex uncirculated states. If comic book style grading was applied to coins, everything 50-68 would be considered AU. They don&#039;t have an expectation to receive comics in mint state. It&#039;s more of an ideal representing the best possible condition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
