DESCRIPTION


I'm auctioning off individually, my J. SCOTT CAMPBELL autographed comic book books, all with starting opening bids at only $5.00, of around +/- the original cover price of each issue, so it's like you're able to step into a time machine and get these rare comic books for around the cover price, but also know that they're collectibles, so the secondary collector and investor market's bidding on eBay will reveal the true marketplace value for each comic book, but the ground floor entry level is the starting bid of $5.00, which is around the cover price and 1/2 the cost of what J. Scott Campbell charges just for his autograph signature on an item !

Know this, as of a few years ago, J. SCOTT CAMPBELL formalized the way fans, collectors, investors and the like all were able to acquire his autograph at comic book conventions, as there's typically a long waiting line to meet him live and in person, then there's a FEE of $10.00 per signature that J. Scott Campbell charges for his autograph.

That means in theory, a comic book is worth at least the price of his signature, which is $10, then add the value of a comic book and the price escalates.

The condition of the comic book is "as is" as you see it in the photographs.  I tried to get close up images of the front and back, so should you need any other image or have a question about anything you see, please inquire first before bidding.  I think personally, grading is so subjective as are descriptions just hearsay, and when a picture says a thousand words, I like to provide the best description visually, both the front and back (where many sellers just show you 1/2 of what you're buying and just the front, I prefer to show both sides, complete)

I will vouch for the authenticity and certification myself in that, I personally acquired the autograph myself at a comic book convention, as I've been following Jeffrey "Jeff" Scott Campbell for years and through the years was able to get most of my comic books signed by him in person, back when he didn't charge for his signature, and I just needed to wait in line to get a free signature.  I'll guarantee 100% if you should choose to bring the autograph to a reputable licensed 3rd party autograph authentication company, this will pass inspection without any doubt.  You can even get this comic book dusted for fingerprints and check the DNA, I'm that confident, of course.  If this comic book does not pass the inspection, and you provide proof, I'd give a full refund of the comic book, the shipping and you'd get to keep the comic book too.  You must first contact me regarding the company you're using to authenticate the autograph, and I don't pay for nor reimburse for the authentication fee.  The reason I'm so assured of the authenticity is because I witness the signatures myself, so have no doubts.

I also have autographed comics by other creators, from A to Z, should you be looking for anything, send me a message, I have hundreds of comic books that I've toted to conventions for the past 2 decades that I was able to get hand signed autograph signatures on.

I only sell ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC MERCHANDISE that I can 100% vouch for the authenticity of every piece I in person, including witnessing any celebrity or artist / creator autographs signing the piece, on items that are described as autographed.

I'm reducing my collection to find pieces that I own a happy new home.  So, I'm auctioning off parts of my collection.  If you happen to have a favorite ARTIST or a favorite CHARACTER, let me know and I might have what you may be looking for that could interest you in my collection.

The condition of the comic books are as shown, where I've provided multiple photographs of both the front cover and back cover, and close up photos of the autograph signature and front cover for you to properly inspect.  For comic books, grading is somewhat subjective to a degree, so I'd rather just show scans of the comic and let the buyers be the judge.  If you require more information, close up photos, or anything else, please inquire before bidding, I can do my best to accommodate your requests to instill confidence and assurance or information on the comic book for customer satisfaction.


I've been a seller on eBay since 1999 and, so the past 15+ years I've both bought and sold with trust and reliability.

Again, I do guarantee and back each piece's authenticity to be original and authentic 100%.


THANK YOU FOR VISITING THIS AUCTION

SHIPPING AND HANDLING:

Our collectibles ship in very sturdy and secure packaging to ensure your collectible is delivered to you in the best possible condition, this often requires added packaging material (including archival quality preservation) as well as added weight (thick cardboard support) & size (oversized to really protect the merchandise well while shipping) to the parcel. 

Please review our stellar feedback regarding our customers comments on the QUALITY of our items and the QUALITY of our SHIPPING (Fast Delivery and Iron Clad Protective Packaging!). 

For Domestic (US CUSTOMERS) When purchasing COMIC BOOKS, the S&H is a FLAT RATE for ALL COMIC BOOKS ONLY or smaller sized items with No Extra Shipping fees no matter how many you buy after your 5th purchase, unlimited quantities purchased shipped  in one parcel at one rate as shown below.  Otherwise it's tiered as listed below.

For International (outside of the USA) customers, please inquire for multiple purchases and shipping discounts.  The rates shown are for 1 to 5 comic books

On avg, a single comic book weighs about 3 oz without packaging, and proper packaging doubles, triples or quadruples that weight and adds dimension, so 5 comic books weigh approx. 1 lb without packaging and 10 comic books weight approx 2 lbs without packaging.  We use sturdy packaging material, whether shipping 1 comic book or 100 comic books.

Unfortunately, comic books contain advertisements in them, so according to the USPS do not qualify for "Media Mail" at the book rate.  Sure, folks can attempt to send comic books that way, but run the risk of having that parcel opened, inspected, rejected and the sender fined a penalty.

Because comic books are collectibles which are condition sensitive, the packaging is of the utmost importance and that's what creates the biggest expense, to properly deliver merchandise in iron clad packaging whether in a box or multiple layers of cardboard to avoid bending, folding or impact damage to the comics and ensure the buyer received the comic in the same condition shown and advertised.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS:

PLEASE INQUIRE FIRST BEFORE BIDDING IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.

International (NON-USA = Canada, Mexico, Europe., Asia, etc.) Buyers Bids (U.S. Funds Only) are Welcomed and Accepted & All Items Can Be Shipped Worldwide. 

Due to size dimensions and weight of the product and packaging, although I do offer international shipping and appreciate, respect and honor international bidders and customers, sometimes it is cost prohibitive on the shipping side for purchases, which I understand, and for that, if you are international and have a domestic (USA) delivery address through a friend or relative, I can ship to US addresses which I recommend if that is an option, but that address MUST BE registered to your account on Pay Pal, otherwise if you have a domestic (USA) friend or relative who has an eBay account, they could bid on this on your behalf to ship to the US.

My bidding philosophy for items you absolutely want, especially in cases of one of a kind items is just to place a best efforts bid of what you're willing to pay and can afford "what it's worth to you", no more than that, and no less either, so you'll know you gave it a 100% effort to obtain it and even if you lose, you didn't lose because you didn't try...
