Does anyone else here use dig for auctions? They normally always grade something dead on or under so if you order a 6 you can bet it's a 6 or better. Looking at tonight's auction I don't know if my eyes or off or if something has changed. This ASM is listed as F/VF with a back looking like this? Not used to that on Dig or maybe I'm wrong?

I definitely would not give it a VF. Per the grading guidelines from CPG, I can see where it could classify as a Fine. If Fine is willing to have a larger piece out of the cover, the foxing and soiling could bring it to a 6-ish.

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.

I think that one slipped on accident because like I said they are normally great on grading. I've never received anything from them and been disappointed just thought this one looked a little off tonight. Meanwhile I'm sitting here staring at the CLink auctions tonight as well telling myself not to spend anymore money tonight
