Title says it all..

I chose good range and ice cream. Lol good call op for allowing two choices. Basically, if the story is intact, that is a good reading copy for me. My first reading copy of the original Green Goblin's death was a coverless marvel tales reprint and I still have it.

IMO, I also think a "good reader copy" should also include a readable spine so you can identify the book on a shelf. I'll turn down TPB's and hardcovers at decent prices if the spine looks messed up.

A good reader copy is one that you can read, but also sturdy enough to not actually fall apart in your hands.

This. A good reader copy is "beat, but complete."DirtbagSailor wrote:A good reader copy is one that you can read, but also sturdy enough to not actually fall apart in your hands.

Re: What do you consider a good reader copy?
Same. 'Good' because for me as long as the cover isn't ripped and there aren't pages missing then it's readable and that's the main point of a comic. Ice cream because I think that as long as the story can be read then it doesn't *SQUEE* matter what state the cover and spine are in.buff-beardo wrote:I chose good range and ice cream.

How about page color on modern things like preunity which some unbagged or poorly preserved copies have started to turn offwhite.

Re: What do you consider a good reader copy?
Imo, if you can read the story from beginning to end, then it's a reading copy. I have low standards. Lol!
