Definitions and Terms
It is always our intent to describe every item we sell to the best of our ability. Since different items are usually graded in different ways and sometimes by set standards, we've decided to list our interpretation here to help you make a more informed buying decision.
For instance, if we are selling comic books, we will adhere to the grading guide published by the Comics Buyer's Guide. If we offer a professional appraisal for any item, a copy of the appraisal or certificate will be available for viewing prior to your purchase and will accompany the item when sold.
General Merchandise
Unless otherwise noted in the listing, general merchandise will be graded by the following rules.
