*PLEASE NOTE: 'Estimated Condition' means just that, ESTIMATED condition. If you are purchasing to have books graded or want to know exact conditions, please e-mail us before committing to purchase and ask any questions you may have. We deal in hundreds of comics every day and have a well versed knowledge of how to assess the condition of a book, however without being officially certified any assessment of a book's condition will ALWAYS be no more than an estimate. Please be aware that mass-produced books are always prone to minor manufacturing imperfections from the printer. These imperfections do NOT negatively effect a book's potential grade. We are confident in the products we sell and wish to give you the best buying experience we possibly can. If for any reason your purchase does not meet your expectations, please reach out to us before leaving negative feedback so we can assist you as best we can! Customer satisfaction is our top-priority; just see our feedback!
We offer combined shipping when purchasing different items (depending on size) if paid for on 1 invoice. The more you buy the more you save! PLEASE NOTE: if combining shipping on in-stock items with pre-ordered items, in-stock items will be held until the LAST pre-ordered item becomes available to ship in 1 package.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us!
Some more information regarding typical estimated conditions we sell:
Near Mint/Mint | NM/M | 9.8 |
Near Mint+ | NM+ | 9.6 |
Near Mint | NM | 9.4 |
Near Mint- | NM- | 9.2 |
A nearly perfect copy that looks brand new with only a few very minor defects. Acceptable minor defects on a NM copy include: a very small amount of spine stresses, very minor instances of denting (two or three at most), slight corner blunting, and minor (less than 1/8") bends without color breaks.
On the ten-point grading scale, a lower grade like 9.2 will allow these defects in a greater quantity and degree than a higher grade like 9.8, which sometimes may have no discernible defects at all. We do not assign the grades 9.9 and 10.0 to any unslabbed "raw" comics. You will only see these ultra-high grades on comics slabbed by one of the grading services. There is such a small degree of separation between the grades 9.8, 9.9, and 10.0 that even the most experienced comic graders may disagree on which of these three grades to assign to an apparently flawless comic, so the highest grade we will assign to a comic is 9.8.
In some cases it is possible for a comic shipped brand new from the publisher, or purchased new from a comic store's shelves, to already be in less than near mint condition due to the way the comic was produced, shipped, stored, or handled prior to purchase.
Very Fine/Near Mint | VF/NM | 9.0 |
Very Fine+ | VF+ | 8.5 |
Very Fine | VF | 8.0 |
Very Fine- | VF- | 7.5 |
A VF copy has minor defects, but is in overall excellent condition. Most well-kept modern comics (especially if they have been read) fall into this grade. Acceptable defects on a VF are minor and include: Minor corner wear, a light accumulation of spine stress that may include color-break, a light accumulation of dents, and bends or folds less than 1/4" (note that on a VF copy, some color-break is allowed in a bend/fold).
