Comic will be carefully bagged, boarded, and shipped securely in a Gemini-style comic mailer to help ensure safe arrival.- Although I am not a professional grader, I use the scale as noted below found on the " Comic Book Guide" to determine an estimated grade.

The following comics grading scale is commonly used to rate the condition of comics. It includes the name of the condition, the symbol for the condition, and a numerical value.

• Mint (MT) Comics, 9.9 to 10.0: The best example of comic book condition ever seen. Perfect, or as near to perfect as possible.

• Near Mint/Mint (NM/M) Comics, 9.8: Almost perfect. Only minor imperfections. Comic book is flat and shows no wear.
