This is the condition the vast majority of comics from Midtown Comics arrive in despite all new comics being labeled as "near mint." Midtown near mint comics almost always have signs of being hastily handled and poorly packaged evidenced by color breaking spine ticks, color rub on the back of the comics, small dings and bends and would be accurately graded as "very fine/near mint" at best.
Rather than change how they handle and package their comics to prevent this damage, Midtown has recently changed their return policy making it harder to get a full refund due to the high volume of complaints they have been receiving.

Seller claims the comic is "perfect" but the pictures show multiple small color breaking spine ticks and color rub on the back cover so it's obviously "Midtown near mint" at best.

Get the nowhere near the asking mug.

Off the 5 next to the Ikea. You know, near the McDonald's where we got that strawberry milkshake?

A meaningless phrase originally coined by Derrick from RHPC
Can be inserted into nearly any conversation.

Person 1: Hey, were you at the party last night?

Person 2: Nah, I was off the 5 next to the Ikea. You know, near the McDonald's where we got that strawberry milkshake?
