NO - Spine break, spine stress that has become a full tear (usually through multiple pages), typically found near the staples

Page Quality
NO - Missing pages
NO - loose pages
NO - damage to the pages
* Tears,
* creases
* cuts (such as clipped coupons)
* Tape, glue, or other attempts to repair pages
* Writing or other soil to the pages
* Water damage, often leading to a stiffness or rippling of the paper
* Staple migration, a condition that occurs when the rust from staples stains the paper around it
VERY GOOD - Assess paper integrity. Today's comics are printed on a higher-quality paper that withstands aging reasonably well. With older comics, this is not the case--the quality of the paper is likely to have degraded some from age.
NO - discoloration or brittleness. Especially in comics from the 1980s and earlier, the paper can become yellow or tan as it oxidizes, and loses some of it's structural integrity.
NOTE * A certain amount of discoloration is expected and acceptable in very old comics, but the less the better.


Grades listed are as accurate as possible, but are were done by me, not a professional company.

Cover photos are from the actual comics offered for sale so please check carefully for flaws.

I am selling all my personal collection, so please check my other auctions.

If you are buying multiple items (and if eBay will let you) please request an invoice, as otherwise you will have to pay for each item individually and will end up paying excess postage. Once I see your purchase, I'll combine items & will send an invoice for the correct postage. If this doesn't work, I'll happily refund the excess postage. However, as eBay takes a percentage of the postage charges, this will help me avoid paying unnecessary fees and helps keep my charges down.

Typical domestic postage rates for standard-size comics are below. Given that Australia Post charge by weight, larger issues may count as multiple issues. I have recently changed postage methods and all purchases are now sent using tracking.

$6.50   1 - 5 comics
$10.50  6 - 12 comics
$16.00  12+ comics

International buyers are welcome, but please contact me for correct postage charges as these vary greatly.
