We are proud to ship in as eco-friendly manner as we can. This
includes using re-used materials and limiting plastic as much as we can – we
only buy plastic tape and comic polybags – everything else is reused. When we
use padding in your packaging, unless there is bubble wrap or other plastic
packing items that we have on hand to reuse, we use honeycomb paper. This is
excellent, recyclable, reusable or burnable (a little bit makes for a good
campfire starter).

Condition: Items
being sold are in the condition shown in the photographs - what you see is what
you get. Please look carefully at the photos provided and, if you’re concerned
with the specific condition of a trade paperback, raw comic, hardcover, poster,
etc. ask for more photos.
Raw Comics: We do our best to grade these as
if we were sending them to CGC. We’re not professional graders. All sales on
raw comics are final. See below for more details.
Graded comics are in ebay’s ‘Brand
New’ condition, unless otherwise noted – when these arrive, we inspect them,
photograph them, add a BCW sleeve and put them away until they’re sold.
These’re kept in and will ship in the plastic CGC sleeve – the sleeve may be
damaged but your slab will be as shown in the photos.
Graphic
novels and other items may have stickers, stamps, remainder marks or other
markings on the outside or inside covers (ex. “From the collection of,”
“Discontinued from X Library”, Dewey Decimal stickers, etc.).
Shipping:
Graded
Comics: Graded comics ship via USPS Priority Mail, UPS or FedEx (our
choice) with signature delivery confirmation –the only way we can verify if the
item arrived at your address. We’re not liable for stolen items once delivered
- mail theft happens to us, too. Graded comics may gain Newton rings in transit
- we will not grant refunds for these. CGC says this is somewhat expected and
it does not diminish the grade.
Graphic
novels: All items ship securely - sealed shut from water and mailed
in a rigid envelope or Gemini-type mailer. We pack items securely to hedge
against the shippers or others throwing them around or putting heavy stuff on
top.
Raw
comics: Chances are, unless you’re buying a raw comic that’s marked
“reader copy,” you care about things like spine tics, reader’s markers,
scratches, dent, discoloration, blunt corners, etc. We do, too. We will package
your raw comic(s) between multiple pieces of study cardboard and, where
necessary or helpful, bubble wrap/honeycomb rap. We’ll try to make these
watertight, too, and we won’t use excessive tape nor any tape that can’t be cut
through by a very shallow utility knife cut.
Problems: If
there’s any problem, please contact us, and please do so before
leaving negative feedback. We wish to make sales satisfactory to buyers.
We will
work with you if there’s a tracking problem with the shipper and ask that you
do what’s necessary on your end. Your local USPS will help track items by the
GPS with the truck and tracking bar code scanner, something we can’t request on
my end, as far as we’ve seen. We cannot issue refunds for lost items unless
they are returned to us. If we need to pay to re-accept the item, we will
deduct the original shipping price and any eBay fees from the refund. If you
still wish to have the item, please arrange/pay for the new shipping by sending
us a label by eBay messages (.jpg/.jpeg only – Print Screen and crop a PDF), by
link or by PayPal. Do let me know and provide photographic evidence if your
item is considerably damaged. We’re not liable for damage caused by the
shippers but if an item was insured, we can file a claim.
RAW
COMICS: Comics grading is not supposed to be subjective. The
standards CGC, CBSC, PGX and others use are according to their published
criteria (each uses their own, but pretty common among them), and we try
to identify any defects on raw copies through the photographs and/or in the
description. Disclaimer: We’re not perfect in doing so, nor
are we certified graders and any notation of a grade or condition on a raw
comic or other item, with the exception of actual third-party graded items, is
only our best estimation. No refunds will be granted for not receiving, for
example, a 9.8 NM+/M/GEM raw comic – we do not guarantee any raw comic is any
grade. All items’ photographs are retained to identify any defects present when
the item was shipped. Some defects may not be shown. These include spine tics,
indentations, blunted corners, small creases or folds (crease for us = bent
back 100%, fold = bent but doesn't break color and is possibly fixable through
pressing), scratches. grime, foxing, yellow, off-white or other-color pages,
loose or even tarnished/rusty staples, markings and more. Items will have all
pages included and, except where notated, all will be stapled as originally
stapled. We do not restore books, so you will find no restoration on our part
(restoration may have been done by a previous owner). But please know –
we’re collectors, too, so we’re not trying to pull a fast one over you. All raw
comics sales are final – there are no returns nor exchanges.
