Won this off eBay earlier tonight. Seller graded it G+ (2.5). You agree?

Looks about right to me and that scan is so large its unfair to the comic to see it larger than in hand IMO. 
End of Line....

My amateur opinion, with help from an online grading tool, is a 2.0 (And I graded toward hard if it was "iffy" on a couple.)
So yeah - 2.5 is about right.
What is the back cover and the inside like?
Does the comic lie flat, of does it roll/curve up at the corners?

I would have to see more but it might even squeeze into a 3.0 range too.

To be perfectly honest, I think you guys are being brutally picky with a grade of 2.0 or 2.5. Minor roll... good staples... no missing pieces... little or no tearing from what I can see... and no major scuffs or abrasions that obscure key elements of the cover. Edges don't look half bad either. Yes, it's scuffed, but I'd totally bump this up to a 3.0 at a glance. The cover isn't VG or VG+, but it definitely is a VG- imo. If it has low or no cover gloss, missing pieces, wide creases and the interior/back look like crap, fine, knock it back down. But if the interior is off-white/yellow and complete without any significant multi-page tears bigger than 1/4, I'd agree with anyone who pegged this at 3.0.
EDIT - As for the one big crease down the middle, it's all by its lonesome, and that date stamp wouldn't be considered a hindrance at all because date stamps and notations don't strip value. Particularly this one since it's unobtrusive. Hell, in some cases having one on there helps.

Thanks for you input, everyone. I appreciate it.
The comic was shipped out today so once I get it, I'll try and take the best pictures I can of it since I don't have a scanner and see if the grade the seller had for it still stands.

I'd totally bump this up to a 3.0 at a glance.
And I would bump it up even higher to a 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510
