Cover price $3.99. Grading Standards Grading Standards GRADE IS AN EXPERIENCED ESTIMATE The Ten-Point Grading Scale is used When reviewing the possible defects a comic may have as shown below for the various grades, please keep in mind that while a single defect may not reduce a comic's grade, that defect if repeated and/or combined with other accumulated defects, may push the grade down by one or more grades. Near Mint (NM) condition 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 without color breaks, 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 (VF) condition 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). Fine (FN) condition Fine/Very Fine FN/VF 7.0 Fine+ FN+ 6.5 Fine FN 6.0 Fine- FN- 5.5 A comic in FN condition is considered "above average" but still displays some wear. In general, the eye appeal is somewhat reduced due to either an accumulation of minor defects or one or two moderate defects. Acceptable defects on a FN copy include: Slight spine roll, a moderate accumulation of spine stresses that may break color, a spine split of less than 1/2", minor water spotting or residue (less than the size of a dime), an impacted corner, and moderate foxing. Very Good (VG) condition Very Good/Fine VG/FN 5.0 Very Good+ VG+ 4.5 Very Good VG 4.0 Very Good- VG- 3.5 A comic in VG condition shows some significant wear, but has not accumulated enough total defects to reduce eye appeal to the point that it is not a desirable copy. A VG copy may have an accumulation of minor defects or one or two major ones. Acceptable defects on a VG copy include: Spine roll, 1/2" to 1" spine splits or other tears, a cover or centerfold that is detached at one staple, discoloration due to oxidation, and a moderate accumulation of water damage or staining. Good (GD) condition Good/Very Good GD/VG 3.0 Good+ GD+ 2.5 Good GD 2.0 Good- GD- 1.8 A GD copy has major defects, but is still complete and readable. A GD copy will have a significant amount of damage, usually an accumulation of smaller defects punctuated with some major defects. Acceptable defects on a GD copy include: A vertical book-length crease, 1.5"-2" spine split, cover or centerfold completely detached, major tears, heavy discoloration/brittleness due to oxidation, heavy amounts of staining, residue, and water damage. Fair (FR) condition Fair/Good FR/GD 1.5 Fair FR 1.0 A FR is the lowest grade a comic book can receive as long as the story and art are complete. A FR copy will have virtually no eye appeal and will display major damage. A comic book in FR condition may have non-story elements such as coupons, ad pages, or Marvel Value Stamps cut or torn out of the book. Types of damage that place a comic in FR range include: A spine split of up to 2/3 the length of the book, a missing back cover provided the front cover is still attached, severe water damage or residue damage, mold, and paper deterioration due to oxidation. Poor (PR) condition Poor PR 0.5 Comic books in PR condition may be missing up to 4 pages (two spreads) of story pages or display severe damage that affects the readability of the book.

However we do recognize the collectable aspect of comic collecting, in fact we glorify it here, so comics will come with a seal closure on the sleeve, as long as the product seal isn't disturbed your return will be treated like any other return. This seal helps us discern if someone read the comic and then returned it or swapped out a different comic with ours. In these cases your return will be affected, and if the comic isn't the original we sent you and was swapped out, we do file mail fraud claims and inform law enforcement as well as escalate to eBay of the fraud. eBay's policy on item condition and returns is below. Policy overview You must return an item in the same condition as it was received, not used or altered in any way. You must also include, in the same condition as it was received: * All original packaging such as boxes, bags, tags, and UPCs * Accessories such as cords and remote controls * Certificates, manuals, warranty, and rebate cards * "Free gifts" or bonus items * All items included in a bundle Make sure you follow these guidelines. If you don't, you may be subject to a range of actions, including limits of your buying and selling privileges and suspension of your account. Shipping Information Shipping Information We are collectors, we 100% understand how frustrating it is to buy comics and find them damaged in the shipping process or even packaged with good intent but making the unpacking process dangerous for the product at hand. So our goal is eliminate that experience. And no more old dusty sleeves! Comics are shipped in new sleeves and backboards that will have a product seal, if you suspect you want to return a comic, don't break or disturb the seal as we use it to determine if a comic has been read. If a seal was broken or tampered with, it could affect your refund on returns. (check return policy for details) 1-2 comic orders will be shipped in an envelope with two stiff cardboard slabs cut to size of envelope to prevent bending during shipping, the sleeves with backboards and cardboard make for a nice combination for safe shipping, we now use poly envelopes as they are water proof to protect your comics. The sleeves and backboards and poly envelope will assure your comic is safe from the elements during it's travels to you. We may choose to put smaller orders in a box instead of an envelope at any time. ECONOMY MAIL: Smaller orders are typically shipped using Economy Mail Options but may sometimes be upgraded. PRIORITY MAIL: Larger orders are shipped in boxes and typically get shipped Priority Mail (USPS) ALL ORDERS COME WITH TRACKING! International Buyers International Buyers We ship internationally ask for shipping price, before purchase, we calculate all shipping to address. International orders may be subject to Duties and Fees upon delivery, buyer is responsible for these duties and fees if applied. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: We require you to provide mailing information before purchase so shipping prices can be calculated if you are not utilizing the Global Shipping Program, failure to follow procedure could result in order cancellation. We encourage you to use the Global Shipping Program! Photo Information Photo Information We use a Stock Photo for the Main Listing Photo, this photo will be tagged with a blue ComicBookChicks tag. This is done for a speedy way to get listings up, we do however come back to listing and add scans to specific comics, we also tag scans stating actual scan and typically adding a BIN number for our own sorting system. We prioritize comics with higher values to get their scans uploaded first, HOWEVER, we are more than happy to provide pictures and upload scans to comics you are specifically interested in. So comics receiving interest will be prioritized, so please feel free to contact us about photos and scans, we will prioritize them and add them! Sometimes we will add photos of a comic in/out of it's sleeve because a previous buyer asked for photos and because we have photos of that comics, we just upload it so anyone interested can also see, these photos wont have any tag and will most likely have been taken with a phone. All scans will be added to the specific comics available in the drop down menu of the condition selection, we do this so the scans don't get lumped in with the entire listing. So selecting condition will show you scans or photos for the specific comic if available, if scans or photos haven't been uploaded for that specific comic then you will see the Stock Photo (with the Blue ComicBookChicks Tag) present instead Stock Photo (With Blue ComicBookChicks Tab) Scan (Will Have a Tag somewhere in the photo stating its a scan) Actual Photos (No tag, photo may show random areas of the comic)
