VF is most typically due to some minor crease along the spine or corner, or some discoloration ... but nothing that would be obvious at a casual look. For lower than VF I've provided some explanation to the condition. Each issue is individually bagged and boarded (silver age size), placed with cardboard backer, and secured in a Gemini comic mailer. This is then wrapped in a water/tear proof mailing envelope. I use painters tape to better secure packaging. U.S. Mailing charges: None - Conan the King #20-25 ships without additional postage or materials fees! Delighting you:If you have any questions about the item, please ask! If you are not pleased with your purchase...like it's not the item you expected or isn't the grade/condition you thought...please contact me so I can fix the problem. About me:I'm a private collector (not a store); issues are purchased at a LCS and carefully handled. Upon purchase, I place the issue in a bag/board, typically read once, and then store in a short/long box. Over time I've decided these should be enjoyed by other readers or collectors. I am not a professional grader, but I have many years' experience in comic grading. I am confident I've been pretty accurate and the grade is fair.
