WHEN BUYING UNGRADED COMIC BOOKS,BE SURE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING SPECIALLY IF THE PICTURE OF THE BOOK IS TAKEN WHEN THE BOOK IS STILL IN THEIR PROTECTIVE PLASTIC SLEEVES.I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH MYSELF AND WAS LOOKING AT SOME OF THE BOOKS I HAVE,TOOK THEM OUT OF THE SLEEVE AND THEY LOOKED AROUND FINE AND THE COVER LOOKED A LITTLE  BLURRED I WOULD SAY,  IN OTHER WORDS FADED,BUT ONCE I PUT THE BOOK BACK IN A NEW SLEEVE IT LOOKED MORE VIBRANT,SHINEY WITH A LOT OF GLOSS AND WOULD IMMIDIATELY SAY THAT THIS BOOK IS VERY FINE+ OR MAYBE EVEN NM-.SO BE SURE TO ASK SELLERS TO EMAIL PICTURES OF THE BOOK YOU INTEND TO BUY OUT OF THE SLEEVE AND ADVICE THEM TO USE LATEX OR NITRILE GLOVES WHEN HANDLING THE BOOKS.THIS IS MY OPINION AND ADVICE AND DOES NOT IN ANY MANNER AM I TRYING TO PROOVE ANY SELLER WRONG IN THEIR GRADING OPINIONS OR THEIR PROFESSIONALITY AS COMIC BOOK GRADERS.
