The comics are complete with nothing missing or cut out from cover or interior pages, and all have covers attached at both staples. Awesome trio! Great original unrestored RAW survivor copies. See pictures for reference.SHIPPING - For regular comic books, I use only Priority Mail. I will not ship these media mail due to postal regulations. I do combine shipping for multiple auction wins; however, if you win more than one auction, please wait for me to send you an invoice. For reference these are my shipping rates - 1-10 comic books = $7; 11-50 comic books - $14; 51-100 comic books - $28. After payment is made, I should be able to have your purchase mailed within 48 hours. Being a collector, I will ship your books with the utmost care (either carefully and securely protected and packed within a cardboard box, or inside a flat-rate priority envelope sandwiched between rigid pieces of cardboard) to make sure they are well protected for their journey to your address. PAYMENT - If you win a single auction, feel free to pay following the prompts using PayPal. If you win multiple auctions, wait for me to send an invoice before paying. NOTE: Please make sure payment is made within 7 days or E-Bay will automatically open the non-payment bidder process. Nothing personal, it's just easier to have it automated. I'm being fully transparent about expectations of payment so there are no surprises. The faster payment is made, the faster I can ship your books, usually within 24-48 hours! MY MISSION = Make my customers happy! I stand behind the items I sell (most of which I have been the only owner since bought new at comic book store). I've kept them in cool, dark and dry climate-controlled storage ever since bringing into my non-smoking home. I have been an E-Bay seller for over 19 years and have a 100% rating, and have earned "Preferred Seller" status due to this level of customer service.
