OUR RATING STANDARDS

Each publication is handled very carefully and checked for all conditions of age and wear. We scrutinize every copy and consider even the slightest blemish before rating and pricing.

All of these vintage publications are genuine original editions. They have been sitting loose or stored in boxes in attics, basements, garages and other places. Therefore, they do have aging and wear from being stored over the many years.

Whatever value each issue claims, we still took the liberty to reduce the price a level lower to insure even greater satisfaction. Many of our "Excellent" rated issues were lowered to "Very Good." The "very Good" to "Good" and so on down the line.

That's our standard.
