My comics do not come with a backboard, I have not had any issues with this fact, other than people being surprised this is the case(that's why I'm stating it now). They are completely secured in the Gemini mailer, if this is an issue - do not buy the comic.
I'm not a professional grader, this is my estimation - Sold as seen - if you have any questions or want more photos please ask - will be bagged and secured with Gemini mailer - if you like your purchase please leave feedback, it really helps me out - thanks for looking!!!!!
P.S. If you want to buy multiple comics and save on shipping let me know before hand with a simple quick message and I'll accommodate you with a discount, it may be small, but it will be something.... or bigger if you get a bunch and you'll save on shipping considerably.
