RIPLEY'S BELEVE IT OR NOT # 7 NM 9.4 and with practically pristine white pages. And both the top and bottom right corners are literally perfect ! The corners are exceptionally sharp, perfectly- defined right angles ! (See close-up photos.) Edges of the comic are straight and even as well as near perfectly structured all the way around the book (both front and back) with no tears or chips out of the margins. The overall structural definition of this comic is quite exceptional, even outstanding. The spine is excellent with several small, light stress lines noted. Aesthetically, the comic presents with newstand quality color gloss and shine all the way across the expanse of its exceedingly smooth and sleekly- defined surface area. Inside covers are very clean and creamy to white with no stains or smudges and just some very light superficial yellowing as is often found on (even in high grade) comics from this time period. The back cover is super clean and smooth across the expanse of its beautiful surface area. The comic is flat, with no spine roll or upturn. The centerfold (as pictured) is tight and secure at both staples silver and bright with no wear or discoloration. Tight, compact book with firm binding. And the cover is securely attached at both staples which are silver, clean and nicely aligned on the spine edge.
