      There is absolutely no difference in grades above 9.4, it is up to the sole discretionof the final grader at the encapsulation (grading) companies such as:

      1. HALO
      2. The comic MINT / NEAR MINT- GRADES 100% to 299% of NM 9.4 guide priceNEAR MINT :9.4
         NEAR MINT- :9.2

         This book is an excellent copy with great eye appeal.

         • This is close to mint with some minor defect.

           • A slight stress line by the staples.
           • The staples themselves are generally centered clean with no rust.
           • Maybe some of the color has chipped or flaked off the cover.
           • And again, the cover is flat with no surface wear; inks are bright with high reflectivity and very little fading. And those tricky corners are cut square and sharp with ever so slight blunting permitted.
           • You can tell that this comic has been stored properly and looks as new as the day it was printed.
           • All stress marks should be almost invisible and bindery tears must be less than 1/16 inch.
           • Only the most subtle binding and/or printing defects allowed.
           • Cover is fairly well centered and firmly secured to interior pages.
           • Paper is supple and like new.
           • Spine is tight and flat.
           • Unobtrusive date stamps or arrival dates in pencil or ink are acceptable.
           • Many pedigree collection comics have a notation on the cover or the interior of the comic and are considered a bonus to collectors as they help prove the provenance of the comic.
         VERY FINE / NEAR MINT GRADES THIS IS THE AVERAGE GRADE OF COMICS AFTER 1971 75% to 100% of NM guide priceVERY FINE / NEAR MINT :9.0

         Slightly better condition than VERY FINE +:8.5, but in lesser conditions than the grade above.

         VERY FINE+ :8.5
         VERY FINE :8.0
         VERY FINE- :7.5

         A VERY FINE comic book appears to have been read a few times and has been handled with some care.

         This one allows for some more defects.

         • Some of the above defects along with a small fold or crease in the cover.
         • Very few stress marks on spine.
         • A few small chips on the cover
         • The cover has some slight surface wear but still has its original gloss and there is nothing major wrong with it. Overall an exceptional, still very collectible.
         FINE GRADES 50% to 74% of NM guide priceFINE / VERY FINE :7.0

         Slightly better condition than FINE +: 6.5, but in lesser condition than the grade above.

         FINE+ :6.5
         FINE :6.0
         FINE- :5.5
         

         This comic is definitely a well-read copy, but can still be a very desirable copy.

         • This could have one major defect like a larger piece out of the cover (1/4 inch to 1/8 inch) or a one-inch plus tear.
         • It has stress lines around the staples and creases from the opening and closing of the cover.
         • The whiteness of the pages has been changed to off-white to yellowish color.
         • This could have a reading or subscription crease or a rolled spine, but is not damaged enough to reduce eye appeal dramatically.
         • Some discoloration, fading in colors and even minor soiling is allowed.
         • The cover and/or inside pages could have minor tears and/or folds
         • Cover can be loose from one staple, but cover cannot be completely detached from interior.
         • Pages and inside covers could be brown but not brittle.
         • Depending on the grade of the copy certain amounts are available in this grade. i.e a book that looks 8.0 with a piece of tape on the interior cover is acceptable in this grade.

         (Cover-less/Covers/Pages or Single Wrap)

         This designation is only used for the purpose of authentication.
