Shipping costs indicated are estimates and you have the option of choosing additional types of shipping. Total weight is approximately 27 lbs per book x 8 books, give or take. Insurance is highly recommended. Remember this item is in Canada so delivery time may be delayed due to customs clearance. Customs fees may also be applicable for international buyers and are the buyers responsibility.

Due to the nature of this sale, this collection is sold as is and returns cannot be accepted.

Please look at the pictures--these are the actual comics in the collection--and feel free to ask questions. The grades provided are mainly by comic dealers and advisers, so grading should be fairly tight.

Books that have come back from CGC have accurately reflected original grade estimates. The one book that did not (Batman 3, sorry!) was returned.
