99p START & NO RESERVE
A very nice looking higher grade unstamped US cents issue (ie. no UK distributor's price stamp on the cover). The comic is complete, with no pages missing or coupons cut and no tape repairs or restoration. It lies flat and is tight to both staples. Interior pages are cream to off white, with a name written in pen to the splash page margin. The cover's surface is bright, glossy and indentation free, with slight edge tanning to inside covers. There is just some minor general wear/stress/blunting. There are no notable creases or rips, tears, chips, stains, stamps or pen marks. A smart Silver Age Marvel Key in I'd say at least Very Fine- condition (7.5).
STRICT GRADING
I've been collecting comics for nearly 50 years. Over that time I've upgraded most of my collection and have built up multiple copies of many issues. I therefore need to scale down the number of comics I own by getting rid of duplicates and items that no longer interest me. I'll be listing a number of lots over the coming months, so please check out my other auctions on a regular basis. Due to me selling 20 or so lots each week, eBay have recently made me change my account from a private seller to a business seller. However, I am not a 'business' or 'dealer' as such, just a collector who owns far too many comics for my own good and still can't resist upgrading where possible!
Grading as per The Overstreet Grading Guide. I grade conservatively as I want the buyer to be delighted with their purchase. Please check out my positive feedback which will show that I've been selling my comics on eBay for a number of years now, with hundreds of very satisfied repeat buyers. If in the unlikely event you are unhappy with your lot, the comic(s) can be returned for full refund.
Comics will come bagged and boarded and securely packed between stiff card. Postage costs will be combined for multiple wins. If you win more than one of my auctions, please wait for me to send you a revised invoice with combined postage prior to making payment. Combined parcels over £50 in value may require a tracked service to be paid for, such as Special Delivery (UK) or International Tracked.
