I'm going to assign a grade to the comic and I'll point out any non obvious flaws that can't be seen in the scans so I do emphasize checking out my scans of the front and back cover to see for yourself as that is the comic up for auction. If you have any questions (as we all know grading can be fairly subjective) please ask and I'll be happy to answer as fast as I can. grade: #1 - VF There are a couple of tics that break colour on the front spine. There is ...a light crease running along the top edge of the front cover. The bottom corner edge of the back cover has a very slight fold and there is a slight crease running up the side edge. There is some slight rippling along the bottom edge of the book, common for newsprint from this era. Off-white pages. #2 - Fine- The front cover spine has some tics and some creases, more you can feel than see. There is a a stain on the back cover spine. There is a smaller stain on the front cover, close to the edge. When you tilt the comic you can see some creases on the front cover. There is some slight rippling. There is a tiny rip along the side edge of the front cover. Off-white pages.
#3 - VF- There is a faint colour breaking line at the bottom corner edge of the front cover. The spine has a few tics that break and a few other light stresses. Off-white pages.
This was printed and sold on the Canadian Newsstand, starting in the early eightiesthe Canadian dollar began to lose parity with the US so the publishers had tostart to differentiate prices on the comics so for a few years in the 1980'sdifferent prices were printed on the ones in Canada and the US. As Canadahas 10% of the population of the USA and the direct market was taking over asthe primary sales channel for comics, these particular editions have very lowprints runs.
Think of the price variants in the 70's, the 35 cent as opposed to the 30 centon the Star Wars #1 from Marvel, among others. I don't think these arequite as rare but there are certainly not very many of them!
I dohave a bunch of other stuff up for sale as well. I do combine onshipping, this is how it roughly breaks down:CANADA1 book - 4.502-3 books - 5.504 books - 6.50At 5 it turns intoparcel rate and is based on where you are located, for 5-10 it's roughly 10-14dollars depending. You can ask for a quote. Yes, I can ship 5comics via letter mail but I'd have to take out the bags and boards, put themin one bag and then ship them that way. They are shipped sandwichedbetween cardboard so it would still be safe, you just wouldn't get a bag and aboard with each comic.
USA1 book - 6.502 books - 9.503-4 books - 12.50Beyond that it gets intoparcel rate. Once it goes into parcel it's not too horrible, theincrements are much smaller.
I've decided to start shipping to the UK for some items. It's called 'small packet -air' and it's supposed to take 6-10 business days. No tracking, though!If you are from the UK and are looking at multiple comics just ask me and I'll figure it out and let you know. It gets pretty expensive after half a kilo in comics. If you want a moredetailed quote, or have any questions, just ask. Thanks forlooking.
