I am not a profession grader. These grades are based on years of collecting comics, visual inspection of the books and interpretation of the published grading scales. Please view photos carefully to verify condition is acceptable prior to making purchase. I'd be happy to answer whatever question I can. Addition pictures can be taken on request. All books are bagged, boarded and in most cases shipped in Gemini Mailers. Shipping will be combined for multiple comic book orders whenever possible.
