Our collection assembles from various sources over years and decades of comic book collecting and enjoyment. We strive to provide the best service possible as a new small cottage business started from a place of love for reading and collecting the unique art form of comic books. To better assist you in purchasing, we provide digital scans of the actual comic book and detailed descriptions of any issues and defects. We then assign a grade based on the 10 point grading scale as described in the Overstreet Grading Guide Books and years of experience reading and collecting comic books. We understand that grading is an art not a science and we do aim to be as accurate as possible. Please be sure to read any hand typed description of the condition and please review the high resolution photos and/or digital scans to be sure you are comfortable with the condition of the comic book. We view this as a service to our customers while we realize that other professional grading services can be prohibitively expensive. We prefer to ship priority with insurance and tracking. Should an accident beyond our control happen in the course of delivery we will assist you in any way we can. If you happen to be in the Midwest please visit us our booth at Mimi's Antique Mall in Warrenton or at special events. See our website for more information. We will gladly respond to any questions you may have about the condition of our products. Additional photos, video, live stream or in person appointments available by request. Please don't hesitate to contact us and we appreciate your feedback. /p>
