Free shipping for most raw comics shipped in the US. I have forty (40) years experience buying and selling comic books. I understand how important grading is and how it relates to price. I use my experience, three (3) Overstreet grading guides and many professionally graded comics for comparison to come up with a grade. I also try to provide a brief description of major defects. It is difficult to grade a comic only from a scan and it is subjective even when professionally graded. I absolutely know what it feels like to receive a comic in the mail and it is not what was expected and experience disappointment. I certainly miss defects while posting comics and some people don't always agree with my grade. however, I want every person who purchases from me to be happy with the end result. I offer complete refunds if you are unhappy with my grade or I miss something. I work full time but I try and make it to the post office a couple of times a week. I try and get comics in the mail the day after payment whenever possible. Feel free to ask any question.
