RESTORATION:  Unless it's blatantly obvious (and seriously, it's gotta be really blatant) we just can't tell when a comic has been restored, i.e. color touch, cropping, pressing and the like. We don't work for CGC, CBCS, PGX, or any other company that grades comics professionally, which for some reason is assumed at times, so we just don't have this skill. When we assign a grade to any comic that we sell, it's just our opinion. We have of course did our reading on Overstreet grading, so we feel like we've got a semi-good handle on it, but we aren't always right, especially on older lower grade books. Those are tough.

SHIPPING:  Being a small business we do not have the resources that some of the online comic shops have. We would love to offer free shipping to improve our sales, but shipping just isn't free or are the shipping materials. So unfortunately that money has to be accounted for in order to ship a comic to a buyer, especially if we don't want the comic damaged by the mail carrier. If your mail carrier is "really rough with packages", then that's something you need to work out with your local post office. Normally the manner in which we ship comic(s) is far more than adequate and safe. If your package that we sent to you is damaged, then that mail carrier really tried hard to damage that package.
