** MIP:
I have added MicroChamber Interleaving Paper (MIP) to help preserve this book. This is a very thin 100% cotton MicroChamber Interleaving Paper that is infused with proprietary SPZ Zeolite and is the only paper that absorbs acid from paper. It is the same paper used by CGC to preserve graded and encased comics and magazines This will help prevent degradation of the paper over time.
** MYLAR BAG:
This book is also protected in a Mylar bag (that will last longer than the basic Polypropylene bags; it won't need to be replaced) and archival backing board.
PACKAGING:
All books are bagged and boarded with clean bags and boards. I will package your new book, sandwiched between cardboard, within a comic mailer, and it will be sent via USPS Ground Advantage package (2-5 days). Slabbed comics will be sent bubble-wrapped inside a Priority Mail box package. Orders will ship by the day after payment is received. International orders will also be placed within a bubble mailer.
STORAGE & HANDLING:
Kept in clean, smoke free, air-conditioned (Covid-free) home. Bagged and boarded. Cared for. I always wash my hands before any contact with my comics.
PICTURES:
Buyer should view photos for condition details. I have tried to include as many pictures as necessary to show any defects/issues. Message me if you have any questions or need additional photos. I want you to have as much information as possible about the condition of the comic. I will take additional pictures as needed.
PAYMENT:
Your prompt payment for auction item wins is appreciated! Unless you contact me first, please make your payment within 72 hours of placing your order or from the close of an auction. If you would like more time, especially if you see another soon-ending auction of mine that you are interested in, just email me and let me know what you're thinking. I'm reasonable. However, I do reserve the right to cancel and relist unpaid items. I generally try to contact auction winners who do not pay, but I cannot guarantee that I will.
COMBINED SHIPPING:
I will combine shipping into one invoice for items that are purchased close to one another. Generally, I ask for $0.50 per additional book. When buying 2 or more comics... Please use a browser to request a combined shipping invoice before paying. You may also send me a message via eBay asking that I combine your purchases. If something happens and you don't get combined shipping, get in touch and let me know. We'll figure it out.
FEEDBACK:
Your satisfaction is paramount! I'm just a collector selling to other collectors, but let me know if you have an issue and we'll figure it out. Each buyer will receive positive feedback at the end of every successful payment and I would appreciate positive feedback in return! :)
