Before you buy

Confirm which printing is being sold; later printings usually carry changed cover marks or indicia lines.
For variant covers, match the listing photo against the variant list on this page before paying a ratio-variant price.
Pressable defects (spine stress, corner blunting) matter to graders; ask for photos at an angle.
