Graders Notes https://www.cbcscomics.com/grading-notes/21-16791E2-016 RAW GRADED This comic is CBCS RAW Graded 6.0. The reference for the comic is 21-16791E2-016 which can be verified at the CBCS website. Keep in mind, this is an uncertified grade, but still an independent 3rd party estimation of the quality of the book from one of the leading certification providers for comics. Grading is highly subjective and even experienced comic enthusiasts will sometimes inflate their grade, the benefit of using CBCS in this case is to get consistency in the quality of the grade. Raw Graded comics have a Tamper-Proof seal on the back (See pics) that indicates the comic is still in the condition as RAW graded. If you look at the bottom right of the main picture you can see the Raw Grade sticker (attached to outside of Mylar Bag). I like RAW graded comics because you really can read them without the headache of cracking a slab to get to your collectible. If you are a hobbyist who likes to tinker with cleaning and pressing, RAW graded comics give you a great starting point.

PLEASE DO NOT E-MAIL ASKING WHEN YOUR ORDER WILL SHIP OR FOR TRACKING INFORMATION UNLESS YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR ORDER AFTER 4 WEEKS SINCE PAYMENT WAS MADE. Substitutions - In some cases we may substitute First class mail, FedEx or UPS. We often make those decisions based upon price and estimated time for delivery.

Please keep in mind that shipping costs are not controlled by us, the rates are established by eBay and the carriers. If you feel like our shipping price is high, please consider that eBay takes about 15% of the shipping charge right off the top, then there are packaging supplies necessarily used to ensure that your package arrives undamaged. Finally, there are the carrier fees - which can be crazy expensive. If you cannot leave 5+ on every category, please contact us PRIOR to leaving feedback. ABOUT US We are a family run business.
