I’ve been selling estate cleanout items on eBay since this site started back in the late 1990’s. I’m not a comic book pro, but I have Google to ask about things, I buy boards + bags, pack with packing materials like cardboard + bubble wrap, and ship in sturdy boxes.

Up for sale here is Men In Action 1 by Ajax Comics. If you like Roy Lichtenstein and Pop Art, you'll probably enjoy the imagery in this book! The pictures posted are of the actual, exact item that you’ll receive from me. This isn’t meant to be OCD exhaustive, but here’s some of my condition-observations:

Cover: Has gloss/sheen to it when tilted at an angle in the light. Writing verso.

Folds/Creases: Has indents, folds / creases with color losses.

Spine: Has stresses and ticks w/ color breaks. Tear chipping off top left.

Corners: Variously blunting, folds, paper loss.

Discoloration: Probably more tanning than browning.

Tightness: Somewhat loose. Fragile old book.

Coupons: No coupons cut out.

Seller Notes: Left "M" chipped off. Loose piece enclosed in book.

Please deduce your own grading estimate from: what I’ve noted above, looking over the pictures carefully, and having me answer any questions to your satisfaction before bidding. I’m honest. There should be no reason for buyer remorse here. All buyers have the eBay Money Back Guarantee as their safety net.

I don’t grade comic books because I’d like to avoid the problems that other sellers have. Maybe they did over-grade, maybe they didn’t. It’s he said, she said. That’s exactly why CGC exists. People who require 'written in stone' should consider buying CGC graded / slabbed comics. There's nothing to fight over with them, except between bidders willing to pay crazy numbers.

All I can do for people is try to help by replying to any questions they may have. Also, flaws can be fixed on a comic for an "affordable" price by an outfit like Hero Restoration, and they can even send it to CGC afterwards for you on their account if you want.
