I am not a comics grader, but I try to be as thorough as possible when assessing books for any flaws. I don't believe in using a number grade system - to me they are mostly utilized as a method to be ambiguous about exact condition and/or individual imperfections - but I do attempt to describe anything other than minor cover shelf-scuffing/scratching in detail. If a certain flaw discussed below does not mention that it affects inside pages, then it does not. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These novels are in various conditions, almost all falling somewhere in the good to very good range, especially for their ages. All have solid/attached spines, and great or better (almost all are 'excellent') overall inside pages (photos#19 examples). They do have some signs of wear accumulated throughout the years, although a majority of the flaws are corner based dings and/or cover indents, most of which are lighter in severity, and almost all only affect the books' externals. Volumes 11 and 12 are still sealed in manufacturer's plastic wrap. Due to eBay's photo limit, with lots involving multiple books, I am not able to show the detailed looks I try to maintain, so if you would like any extra photos of a specific description/book, feel free to let me know!

I always pack books firmly between pieces of cardboard (among other materials/layers) via Gemini Comic mailers or bubble mailers depending on size; usually utilizing boxes for larger lots. If you have any questions or would like any additional photos, feel free to let me know. I'm always happy to combine shipping costs - either message me before completing purchase for a pre-payment price adjustment, or alternatively I can provide a refund afterwards. Thanks, and have an amazing day!
