Description

Publisher: I.W./Quality Comic

Highlights (other than what is listed in title): Great issue that features the lead story "Pitfall For The Merry Men!"; Nice hard to find issue with a classic cover and excellent artwork; $.10. This is a nice collectible issue to own for your collection with artwork by some of the finest artists at the time.

Additional Comments:

-Book has a yellowed/tanned interior cover and yellowed interior pages. (Good page quality)
-Book is complete with no cutouts and has tight staples and a tight center page.
Note-You may notice that on certain books, I try to take photographs with and without the camera flash to try and capture the gloss if the book has a glossy surface. That is the reason that certain images will have a difference of appearance and may show a light spot from the camera flash-Which is NOT a loss of color on the book itself.

Shipping in the US is $5 and shipping to Canada is now $9.50 (due to recent postal increases) via US Mail 1st Class International (a minimum of 10 positive responses are required otherwise the package will need to be shipped Priority Mail International! Please wait for me to re-invoice you prior to paying.). Please refer to "Shipping Section" below for full details of shipping both domestic and International.

Combined Shipping Note-Winning multiple sales SAVES you money because I offer "combined shipping rates". Each additional sale won adds only $1 to the shipping cost-so please look at other sales that I currently have to save on shipping. Please wait for me to re-invoice you prior to payment so that I can adjust the shipping fees through to get the lowest shipping costs (otherwise, if you do pay prior to shipping adjustment at higher cost, cost will be slightly higher due to fees for shipping charged to sellers which are not refunded through ).

Questions:

Please feel free to email me with any questions before you make a purchase.
If unsure about shipping costs, please contact me before offerding.

Payment

If you are paying with Paypal (Visa-Mastercard) for a single listing, please pay for the sale right after the sale closes or after you have received your invoice if shipping is unclear (international or multiple purchases). If you have multiple purchases, I offer a shipping discount and will combine all purchases for discounted shipping, so please wait for a combined invoice before paying each one separately to receive the savings.

Payment is preferred within 24 hours, but must be paid within 3 days (so only offer if you plan to pay right away!!). Even if you plan to offer on other sale listings that end on DIFFERENT days, please pay each day (for multiple sales won, please wait for combined invoice prior to paying) for all sales won that day and send me an email letting me know your intent (keep in mind that I ship out every day so the sooner you let me know, the better!) so that I can withhold shipping until other sales close (within a week or so). I always combine shipping with additional sales won costing only $1 each.

Please offer with the intention to pay. Buyer agrees to pay all shipping/handling costs.

Shipping

Shipping Rates/Policies (USA and Canada-Please READ!!)

Combined Shipping: I can/will combine shipping when possible. For ALL buyers, once the original cost of shipping is made, there will be an extra $1 charge ($1.50 for Canada) for each additional listing won to help offset the cost of packaging, 's policy change to charge seller's for full cost of purchase including shipping fee's, and the increasing post office fees (Last increase was Feb 2018). If you would like to take advantage of the combined shipping discounts,please wait for a combined invoice before payment (manually sent, so please be patient) if you would like to take advantage of the savings.Please do not make full price payment and request a shipping discount afterwards because does not automatically credit ANY refunds.

Note-once an item is paid for, I have to ship within 24 hours to maintain my status, so please notify me in advance of payment that you plan on purchasing items for sales ending on a different day and we can make arrangements for you to withhold payment to delay the shipping (please, no more than 4-5 days).

Shipping: United States

There are 3 options for shipping:

U.S. Postal Service 1st Class Mail or U.S. Media Mail (within a bubbled envelope and protected on both sides with heavy cardboard) These are the standard shipping methods that I use and I charge a flat rate of $5 for shipping (up to 5 comics in the same listing to fit in an envelope). If there are several lots won, see above. Extra listings won add $1 additional per listing.

Note-For those customers that would like item shipped in a BOX: I am more than happy to ship in a sturdy box, however, there is an added cost to me for the box and the weight will increase increasing the cost of shipping. To ship in a box via media mail would cost $8.50. Please send me an email letting me know that you would like it shipped in a box and wait for me to reinvoice you for the proper amount. If you pay prior, then I will have to send you an additional bill via PayPal.

U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail (in larger box)- For expedited shipping or for comics that sell over $150, I use U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail shipping in a medium/large box with a cost of $14.00 for the first sale won. Additional sales won will add $1 each to the cost of shipping.

Shipping: Canada

For Canadian customers, if you have MOREthan 10 positive responses-I can ship via USPS1st Class International rather than the more expensive Priority Mail International. Please wait for me to reinvoice you for the lower shipping amount prior to payment. If you have less than 10 positive responses, item must be shipped via USPriority Mail as that is trackable and covered under 's seller protection. Also, if you prefer to have item shipped via Priority Mail International in a box for protection, feel free to pay off original invoice sent after sale is completed. Due to the recent price increases for shipping to Canada February2018 with the cost nearly doubling in addition to charging sellers full commission on seller shipping fees, I have to increase my prices. Canadian buyers base fee is $10.50 and $1.50 each additional listing won(up to 4 additional listings).

Shipping: International (Canadian-see above)

To offer on one of my listings, you must have a minimum of 10 positive responses, otherwise, please do not offer. The United States Postal Service changed rates and methods of International shipping in late January of 2013. To protect both buyer and seller and guarantee delivery, I will ship all comics out of the country via USPS Priority Mail International bubble flat rate envelope protected on both sides with heavycardboard with tracking. This is based on calculated shipping and the price is based on weight of the package and country of destination and will vary but will generally be around $28.20 ($24.95 + $3.25 to cover the commission fees will charge us sellers for the shipping fees). These bubbled envelopes from the USPost Office are tight and only 1-2 standard sized (gold/silver/bronze age) comics will fit with the cardboard for reinforcement. Unfortunately, these are NOT large enough for "multiple comic lots" (3 or more comics) or Oversized Golden Age or Treasury Edition Comics, so those will need to be shipped in a Priority Mail box at a higher cost). If multiple lots are won, I would either have to ship them in a box or a second envelope whichever is cheapest for the buyer.
Note-if you are an international buyer with a sizable number of positive responses with 0 negative responses, feel free to contact me as I may (at my discretion) decide to allow the shipment be made using US 1st Class Mail International at a reduced cost to the buyer/buyer. The destination country and any amount of negative response through would have an impact on my decision. Cost would be based on weight of the ship meant (calculated cost through ) plus additional $3.25+ (roughly 13% of cost of shipping)to cover the cost that charges sellers fees and commissions on shipping as well.

I will provide customs accurate cost informationfor international shipments in addition to tracking to the buyer. I will not GUARANTEE or be responsible in any way for deliveries outside the United States.

INTERNATIONAL buyers REMEMBER - SHIPPING CAN TAKE AWHILE. However, they will be shipped within 1 day of payment. To save on shipping, I am more than happy to hold a comic (up to 1 weeks) for other listings that you are interested in, but you must notify me immediately so that it is not shipped immediately and we can make arrangements for payment at a later date.
