I'm pleased with everything I've bought from Metropolis. I typically buy old mid-grade stuff and how the comic presents is more important than actual grade. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by X51 I agree Book Presentation is a big factor, Miswrapped covers are especial eye sores and I will not buy them regardless of the grade. On the other hand, grade is most certain important especially when the pricing is based on it. Im cool with a half grade up or down, but 2 grades off, for any Long term Experienced Seller is unacceptable for me and warrants the books being returned. Metropolis has one of the most extensive inventories in the hobby and I have gotten some beautiful books from them, but some dogs I had to return as well. The one thing with Metropolis is some of the verbiage they use in their high grade descriptions can be a bit misleading. Ive always had good customer service with Metropolis My Comic Shop also has a very extensive inventory and I have found them to be much tighter with grading. I would have to say they are my go to first choice. Ive never had to return any books and have always received prompt customer service The one issue I have with MCS is that they do not always have pictures of the actual books. This is where the book presentation X51 spoke of really come into play. I will NOT purchase any book with a miswrapped cover regardless of the said grade. I have gotten a few miswraps from MCS (No photo of actual book), that I was not happy with. They were minimal books so I just ate them. I now try to avoid purchasing anything without a Actual photo to determine the books presentation qualities, but make no mistake the Grade is also VERY much a major part of the book's presentation quality, more so on the Higher grade books Im interested in than in the Mid Grade range. |
