Grading is subjective, I am not a professional dealer. I try to place myself in the position of the buyer and be as accurate as possible, listing any notable defects.
Shipping in US via USPS Ground Advantage, it's a bit more expensive but you'll get it quicker with less likelihood of loss or damage. (The only shipments I've ever had "go missing" were sent Media Mail.) Shipping to other countries is via eBay International Shipping.
I will combine shipping if you buy multiple items, please wait for a revised invoice.
From the private collection of the original owner. Please feel free to ask any questions and check out my other items, more being added every Friday!
