All comics will be sent in boxes and sufficiently padded for protection.Terms of Sale GradingI am not a comic book professional but have been a collector/investor for many years. It is my belief that if I market a book as a specific grade, it better get graded as such when professionally graded. Because I do not do full detailed inside-out gradings and I am no professional, I grade my comics by "condition" with A being like new, just off the shelf and F being bargin-bin. Any reference I may make to an overstreet or numeric grade is done solely against my own expectations were I to submit it for grading. I believe any book I rate as an A condition will receive at least a 9.0 but it will happen that some may receive lower. I try to assess comic book condition on the conservative side but it is reasonable that I may miss or underestimate defects which would affect the grade of an individual book. Any buyer must be comfortable with their own assessment of the conditions. I will include high resolution, well lit images so the viewer can make their own determination before bidding. If there are any specific books that you would like to see higher resolution images, I would be happy to accommodate.Key Issues : I do an inspection of the entire comic and state what my expectation would be if it were submitted for professional grading. I have been both surprised and disappointed after having my books graded but for the most books they grade +/- one step from my expectation.Non-key Issues: I do a front cover inspection looking for noticeable defects in the spine, corners and general cover appearance. When I assign a condition to a book there is no guarantee that it will receive any specific grade.Conditions A - This comic has been properly handled and stored and shows very minor to no flaws. It should look approximately as good as the day it was purchased. A beautiful addition to any collection that I would expect to grade as NM or at very worst VF+ B - This comic has been well handled and stored but shows some minor flaws such as more than one minor color breaking spine ticks. A very nice book for a collection that I would expect to grade at worst VF-. C - This comic has been slightly mishandled or stored and shows some minor to moderate flaws. A descent book for a collection that I would expect to grade as F+/VF-. D - This comic is fully intact but has been mishandled or stored improperly and shows multiple moderate flaws. A good reader book or one to complete the run that should grade as Fine. F - This comic is low grade and would be a good replacement candidate for any collection. I would expect any grade less than Fine. ReturnsDue to the size of the auction lots and nature of comic ... read more
