First off, if you are only getting the new and improved eBay item page, where the large image no longer appears where it did, below the description, here is the large image link for this comic:

This listing is for a Tales of Suspense #40 in superb NM- to NM condition with WHITE pages, and ultra rarity in this extreme condition.

It's the original 1963 Marvel newsstand issue, not a reprint or special edition, and is the second appearance of Iron Man.

A magnificent example, the best I've seen, tha feels more like a 1970s Marvel in-hand than a 1960s Marvel!

The comic is GLOSSY clean, complete, and has no tape, repairs, or restoration of any kind.

AN EBAY PLATINUM POWER SELLER WITH THE BEST & ONLY TOTAL PURCHASE PROTECTION, RAW COMIC RESTORATION GUARANTEE ON EBAY:

If this comic is submitted to CGC or PGX and is returned either restored, repaired, trimmed, or qualified (a purple or green label), a full refund of auction price plus postage, the grading fee, and all postage incurred to send to and from grading, plus the postage to send it back for a refund will be reimbursed upon return to me.

PLEASE NOTE:

This comic is numerically graded by me using the published Overstreet guidelines. The grade assessed is not a CGC grade, a guarantee or implication of CGC grade. It is my opinion of what the comic should grade at CGC, but not a guarantee of what it will grade.

A specific numerical CGC grade cannot be guaranteed because CGC themselves do not guarantee grades, and there are no published CGC grading guidelines.

This is made evident by the thousands upon thousands of CGC graded comics that have graded differently when resubmitted a second time, one extreme case being a comic that once CGC Universal graded 4.0 eventually being given a 9.0 Universal grade by CGC, the same company that graded it 4.0 in the past!

What exactly does CGC guarantee?

I quote from the CGC label itself: "CGC guarantees this comic book to be genuine and be inspected by a minimum of three graders. The assigned grade represents our opinion, as grading is subjective."

As my regular buyers well know, on a whole, my comics do very well at CGC. Some grade slightly higher than the grades I list them at, an equal number grade slightly lower, and the majority grade the same, most notably of late an AS #129 that I listed at NM/MT that was graded 9.8 by CGC, an AS #9 I listed as NM/NM+ (meaning a high end 9.4, but not quite a solid 9.6) that was CGC graded 9.4, an AS #37 that I Iisted as 9.2, I was given a negative on by the buyer for "overgrading", yet 2 months later was graded CGC 9.4 for the second chance buyer, and many, many others.

***Also, recently a restored raw AF 15 auctioned at $16,950 that graded CGC 9.4 (sl) for the buyer!***

In other words, there is an averaging out when it comes to the subjective art of grading, even among the best.

Among these listings are some of the most desireable Silver age unslabbed, unrestored comics ever offered on eBay.

Many are from an incredible, high grade, original owner collection that was stored away since the 70s and have never been offered by a seller either on or off eBay.

Their quality is remarkable and their conditions will please the most discerning high grade collectors.

There are also some beautiful, slightly restored comics from different collections with minimal, professional color touch that is very difficult to find.

Please search all of my seller listings.

The comic images in my auctions are the comics that you will receive if you're the winner.

All are the originals. None are reprints or German editions.

All are given a page count and check for loose pages, missing panels, and other related internal defects.

All are returnable for a refund within 7 days of receiving it, if you are dissatisfied for any reason.

Good luck to all of you on your bids and thank you for stopping by.

PAYMENT

Payment must be received within 7 days of the end of the auction.

SHIPPING

Shipping & Insurance are to be paid by winning bidder. All items shipped within the United States will be sturdily packed in a Priority Mail box, the exact postage factored by the USPS.com rate finder for your area, for between $5.60 to $8.75. Multiple wins are always combined. Packages will be insured to cover the full value of the contents unless an international buyer waives insurance, opting for a proof of mailing ceritificate instead. Shipping costs for delivery outside of the U.S. will vary by location, the value of the contents, and method of shipping. International buyers, please contact me after the auction to choose which shipping option you prefer, Global priority, Global express, or Airmail parcel post with insurance. All international postage quotes are derived from the online USPS rate calculator. I can safely ship one inexpensive comic to Canada in a small, one pound limit box for $5.76, and to most overseas locations for$10.40 if you don't require insurance. Both of these services require a certifcate of mailing (an additional $1.10). Below is a close approximation of USPS postal insurance rates.

Please wait for your invoice to pay for the exact postal rate quote derived from the usps.com rate finder.
