All grading systems are subjective and I encourage you to examine the Images of the actual comics so you can evaluate grading for yourself. I will increase the amount and type of scans and photos to give an idea of the overall condition in different light so you can see reading stress marks etc. depending upon the overall value of the book(s). Scans will be done at 300dpi. The more valuable the book(s) the more details provided on condition etc and photos. Feel free to ask for more photos or information.
Books will be sent in a plastic sleeve at minimum and if currently bagged with a backing board that will be included. Packaging will include the book(s) being packed between layer(s) of stiff cardboard and taped to prevent slippage. Higher value books or orders will have additional packaging materials. I have had only 1 medium value book damaged in shipping in over 30 years.
====================================================================
I do not modify my books in any way. They all have been read at some point and many have been stored for 30 to 60 years. I store most of my books with 2 books to a sleeve with a backing board in between with with covers facing out front and back to equalize the pressure of them being stored in fairly tight boxes to prevent damage. This has resulted in some books being very flat but none have been "pressed" or modified by cleaning etc.
Most buyers are very pleased by the quality of the books they receive from me and the accuracy of my descriptions. I worked in early comic book stores in the 1970's as a grader, buyer, and seller. I have been selling my very large personal collection for over 30+ years to private collectors, dealers and at conventions, auction houses and agencies as well as eBay.

PLEASE READ: Shipping Notes:
I deliver orders within 24 hrs to USPS. Delays are not caused by action on my part.
USPS Priority Mail or 1st Class from Alaska is reliable but does usually take an extra 1-2 days more then posted time estimates from eBay or USPS
USPS Ground Advantage has been reliable so far on estimated times
USPS Media Mail is very slow but has been reliable. Usually 2-3 weeks if you are not on the eastern or western coasts. Do not count on eBay estimates for mailing times.
