SHIPPING POLICY:

All books will be shipped boxed and secured between cardboard so that they will be safe in transit.

That way they will get to you in the same condition as they were in when they left. I always ship books just the way I would want them shipped to me if I was buying them.

I WILL NOT DECLARE ANYTHING LESS THAN THE AMOUNT IT SOLD FOR AND I WILL COVER INSURANCE

AND ADULT SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION FOR ANYTHING OVER $100.00 SO BE AWARE BEFORE YOU offer/PURCHASE.

THIS IS TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT AS WELL AS MINE.

I have been collecting for over 30 years and always take care of the customer first. If you have anyquestions please feel free to e-mail me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I believe my grading is accurate and I will stand behind it.

It takes a lot of work to get the level of detail, quality andusefulnessout of the pictures I post.

I just invested in an expensive photography copy table to capture better imagesof the books so there\'s none of the distortion or blurriness you\'ll see in other items.

I am very proud providing access to these high quality images because grading is subjective.

I hope you will refer to them to help resolve any questions about grades but feel free to ask if you need more information.

It\'s the closest I could get to handing you the book and letting you look at it yourself.

While taking the pictures I do check for any internal (i.e. hidden) issues (tears, Marvel Value Stamps, etc.) so there will be no surprises.

Due to the nature of this piece you cannot return it for a refund. If I don\'t receive payment in 5 days I will have to relist unless other arrangements are made prior to the sale ending. All items going to a U.S. address will be shipped with signature confirmation and insurance sorry but one bad apple ruins it for everyone...
