1965 ARGOSY COMIC BOOK PRICE GUIDE #1 - Deluxe Edition!

Grading and guarantee:
Non-CGC Comics and items:
Satisfaction Guaranteed -  If you believe a non-CGC item is not as described simply return it within seven days of your receipt, in the condition sent, for a prompt refund including both your return postage expenses and the initial shipping charge for the items in question. My aim is to provide satisfaction. I want to hear your comments. All books are packaged securely and have been scanned prior to shipment.

Grades indicated are based on Overstreet standards but tend to be, in the opinion of most of my collector customers and myself, somewhat more conservative (i.e., strict). I never grade books or other items mint since I don't believe there is a 100% perfect book or collectible. I know from experience that I grade much more strictly than most other dealers and I've had plenty of customer testimonials to this fact. Of the over 18,000 lots I've sold, in previous auctions, less than 1/3 of 1% have been returned!

For non-CGC items, all significant defects are spelled out so you can determine how much a given defect (or attribute) affects the book from your perspective. For example:  I'll always note subscription creases and the grade the book would be without it (as well as the "net" grade because many collectors don't like subscription creases at all and some (me included) would rather have a VF book with a sub cr than a book that is VG just from overall wear. Page color is usually noted and will always be noted if brown (except for reading copy or very low grade lots). Brittleness is always noted. Due to my extensive descriptions I have had many customers state that the books they received were much better than what they had visualized.

CGC Comics:
Comics graded by CGC are not normally returnable.

All shipments are packed securely, I do not ship in unreinforced envelopes or bubble wrap without cardboard. Combine winning lots to save on shipping - if you win more than one item we will let you know the shipping total.  I ship items via USPS only.

Shipping Time: I do my best to ship out no later than the Saturday after payment is received if paid by Google Check-out, PayPal, money order, or credit card - other payment methods may take longer to clear. I meet or beat this goal 98% of the time. I always e-mail and let you know the day your books are shipped and provide the delivery confirmation tracking number for your convenience.
