GUARANTEE
Purchasing online collectibles can be subjective, meaning photos sometimes need to meet our client's expectations or interpretation. So many variables come into play with antique, vintage, and collectible items that we understand that anything not precisely as expected can be returned for any reason due to this unique nature.
We process thousands of items annually, and occasionally, mistakes happen with listing numbers, lots, photos, or other weird stuff. When that occurs, we always try to provide a substitute for a better grade or condition for the same or reduced price. We have successfully made those situations a win-win opportunity for both the customer and our gallery, so please don't worry about an item that might not be as expected. We will make it right. If not wholly pleased, receive a full refund, including return shipping, at our expense.
