Vampire Tales #8 CGC 7.5 VF- (Marvel - 12/74) First Solo Blade Story!

Description: NOTE: THE LAST PHOTO IS A PICTURE OF THE FULL MOON TAKEN FROM MY FRONT YARD SEVERAL YEARS AGO... Werewolf By Night... This auction is for one CGC graded magazine. Vampire Tales number 8 published by Marvel from December 1974 in 7.5 Very Fine Minus with Off-White to White pages. It features the first solo Blade the Vampire Slayer story. The 54th Edition Overstreet would place the graded value of this book in 7.5 at $50.00, and (even though I know we are not buying slabs... we are buying magazines) the CGC grading and encapsulating along with their shipping and handling fees would run you over forty bucks(magazines cost more). I have set the price at 210% of graded guide value plus thirty dollars for the CGC grading(discounted from $40 due to scratch/scuff issue), which, along with the nineteen dollars in shipping is, in my opinion, quite reasonable. Compare it to what other sellers are asking. This is a CGC certified grade, so you know what you`re getting. I may have a different opinion of the grade of a book than the CGC, but they ARE the recognized grading standard these days, and these differences usually are on older books. No returns on CGC graded books. They are what they are. The plastic case has some scattered isolated very light scratches/scuffs. It is one of the newer styles, the one they weere using through the end of 2022, and other than the light scratches and scuffs, it is in great shape, with no noteworthy defects. This book will ship securely packaged in a box, NOT AN ENVELOPE. It will be individually bagged, but you will most likely want to put a new bag on it, since the one it is now in is for protection, not looks, and it may show wear. It ships fully insured, so a SIGNATURE MAY BE REQUIRED. IMPORTANT NOTE ON SHIPPING: This CGC graded book will ship Priority(UNLESS your zip code begins with a 7, 8, or 9, in which case it will likely ship PARCEL POST.) for a total shipping cost of $19.00. If it ends up costing less than $19.00 by more than a full dollar, then I will send a partial refund to make sure you are only paying actual shipping costs. NO RETURNS: Almost all of the comics I list have been bought as back issues by me. I have know knowledge of where they have been prior to being in my home. They have been in a smoke free environment since I bought them. Be sure before you bid. Items are sold "AS IS" and all sales are final. No returns allowed unless I have grossly misrepresented the items(which I have not). Recently I have been putting most of my effort into collecting melmac, mainly off of EBAY, but close to half of my feedback rating is from my former hobby of collecting and selling comic books, and I apply the same standards to all of my listings. Bid with confidence. SHIPPING and HANDLING: Although many of my comic book listings for un-graded, or RAW books ship for FREE, these CGC auctions will have a shipping fee for PRIORITY shipping attached, and they are shipped fully insured, so a signature may well be required for receipt... Although I do offer combined shipping, I will not combine shipping for COMIC BOOK AUCTIONS or with shipping for MELMAC AUCTIONS. CGC Books ship Priority(unless ZIP CODE...). Raw books ship MEDIA MAIL, which is the most economical way to ship these, so that is how they will likely ship, with tracking included. While this method is the cheapest it is also the slowest. Items COULD take ten days or so to arrive. Melmac ships at the Parcel Postage rate, unless Priority is the same cost(which it sometimes is...). COMBINED SHIPPING FOR CGC BOOKS: Pay full amount of shipping on each auction won. Discounts for combined shipping will be handled as a REFUND to give back over-payment to reflect actual shipping costs. Additional shipping will not exceed more than half of full shipping amount for each additional item. ABSOLUTELY NO LOCAL PICK-UP. Please do not ask if item can be picked up locally. It can not. HANDLING TIME: Your items will ship within two business days after I receive your payment, provided the Post Office is open. If you pay late in the week, like on Friday or Saturday, then the items will ship on Monday. PAYMENT: Paypal is the preferred method of payment. If you haven`t used it before, I encourage you to do so. Its a great system, especially for the Buyer.
