Buying guide
Everything worth knowing before you add your first issue to the basket.
Read the grade, not just the photo
Photos are of the actual copy, but lighting flatters. The grading standards page tells you exactly what Mint, Near Mint, Very Good, Good and Reader mean.
Two prices on every listing
The first price is the item. The second, with the shield, includes Buyer Protection — tap it for a full breakdown of the fee and postage before you commit.
What Buyer Protection covers
- Your payment, held until the order is confirmed delivered
- The item arriving in the condition described
- Loss or damage while the parcel is in transit
- Refunds handled by us, not by chasing a seller
Bundles beat single orders
Postage is per order, not per issue, and the bundle discount rises with each item you add. Four issues in one order is almost always cheaper than four separate orders.
One copy only
Each listing is a single graded copy. If you want two of the same issue, they'll be two separate listings with their own grades and prices.
If something goes wrong
Start in the help centre or go straight to returns. You have 30 days from delivery.
