Hey guys! Brand new here and hoping I can get some help with grading. I would say it's about a 5.5-6.5 for the most part, however, it is missing a back cover. I don't know what category this would put it into?
Any help is appreciated!

Most guides would say poor or no grade. My Detective comics 38 coverless got a .5.

CPG has a grading guide here: https://comicspriceguide.com/comic-book-grading
Plenty of Overstreet Grading guide definitions online at various sites too. Overstreet says a back cover can be missing in a 1.0 grade, but most collectors just consider them 'incomplete', which is generally a .5 grade, no matter how nice the rest of it is, but no better than a 1.0.

Here's another link on Grading that I was just looking at. https://www.mycomicshop.com/help/grading
I have a really really beat up FF5 that I want to have CGC'd and I went ebay and saw that there is a huge price difference between a .5 and a 1.0 One thing interesting was most of the books on Ebay show the FF .5's missing pages or stuff cut out....So I went though the book while viewing the book online and found I had no missing pages or stuff cut out so I hope I will get a 1.0 You might want to consider none of your internal pages are missing. Here's the link I used....Good Luck!
