Midtown Near Mint

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.

Any result from a transaction that was disappointing.

Not getting what you wanted or expected from something.

What did you get for the Beemer in the end?

What was she like on the blowjobs?
Nowhere near the asking - about 6/10
Goose then!
Yeah.

I'm going nowhere near the asking on those Glasto tickets I'd sooner watch it on telly!

Near-winning addiction

Excessive gambling habit indulged by grannies who keep buying lotto tickets and scratch cards thinking that near misses indicate a close big win.

Grandma is always broke. Any money you give her feeds her

Near Fact Check

A "Near-Fact-Check" or "NFC" is a polite way to call a "fact-check" that failed to meet logical integrity -wrong, but "hey, you almost got it buddy.". This helps the "fact-checker" to not be depressed or toxic, or take out their rage on the victims of their gas-lighting narcissistic abuse. Since fact-checkers are given so much trust by the public, and had one job to do - and failed at providing the facts - they are gas-lighting, by definition, and narcissistically.

"Hey, look, PoliticFact, I know you tried real hard there and I appreciate that energy, but it didn't cut it. It's okay, let's just call it a 'Near Fact Check' and give you a golden star right there next to your name anyways, for trying ... okay?"
