Graphic novels and other items may have stickers, stamps, remainder marks or other markings on the outside or inside covers ex. The only way we can verify if the item arrived at your address. CGC says this is somewhat expected and it does not diminish the grade.
We pack items securely to hedge against the shippers or others throwing them around or putting heavy stuff on top. You care about things like spine tics, reader? S markers, scratches, dent, discoloration, blunt corners, etc. We will package your raw comic(s) between multiple pieces of study cardboard and, where necessary or helpful, bubble wrap/honeycomb rap.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.
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. T request on my end, as far as we?
Do let me know and provide photographic evidence if your item is considerably damaged. 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.
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. We do not guarantee any raw comic is any grade. 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). Re collectors, too, so we? Re not trying to pull a fast one over you. All raw comics sales are final?
