This copy is in nice condition with minimal light wear: FINE/VERY FINE. As always, grading of paper collectibles is subjective so check out my scan and be sure this copy would have a home in your collection before bidding or buying. My 99¢ auction items are always complete unless otherwise specified. However, they will show various flaws associated with their grade even if those flaws are not specified. Many will have previous sellers' prices on the back cover as a sticker or maybe even in ink. My scan is of the copy you will get if high bidder.

Although comic book grading is still somewhat subjective, you can expect that the grade I assign to a comic will be accurate. I find that I'm more strict a grader than most people dealing on eBay. I've been dabbling in collectible comics since the late-1960s and participated in the WSA program (#1305) which provided a code of ethics for comics dealers. I've contributed material to the
Overstreet Price Guide
and published articles in a variety of comic book related periodicals including
Comic Book Marketplace,
Comic Source,
Golden Age Greats
,
Best of the West,
and others.
If you buy a comic book from me you can rest assured that it will live up to the description or I'll be happy to take it back and refund your money. My grading terminology is pretty standard for collectible comics but feel free to ask me if you have questions. Some comics may have previous dealers prices on the bags or perhaps on the comics themselves. I don't consider a light pencil price inside a comic to be a major defect and I might not mention it.
My postage charge for a single comic is usually .50 or less.* and the comic will arrive in a super-tough Stay Flat (tm) mailer. Yes, you can accumulate multiple lots to save on shipping. Ebay should calculate the discount correctly but I'll be happy to quote a final shipping amount after all your lots close. I leave feedback to everyone who pays for their lot and the feedback usually includes the exact date that your lot shipped.
*Subject to change without notice based on actual postal fees. Shipping charges for graphic novels or lots with multiple comics will be higher.
