Smoke Free Comics???
Not unless YOU have been the original owner of the comic book and bought it off the newstand or from the comic book store when it was first published and then stored it away properly.
Earlier this month I checked out another eBayer's listings because they had comics starting at a low beginning bid.
Comics were just added as a sideline ('other items') to this seller's eBay Store and the eBayer used their usual listing template stating that their items are from a 'smoke-free home'.
That could get the eBayer seller into a situation with a buyer who believes that statement, and purchases the item(s) thinking they are 'smoke free'.
Trust me on this one folks, paper collectibles will pick up smells during the years they are stored.
As a matter of fact one of the largest comics dealers in the world that I know of, loves the distinct smell of old comics that come from the Midwest area of the USA!
So be careful if you are thinking of listing comics as being 'smoke free' to your other eBay sales!
For our back issues of comics which did not all come from a smoke free environment, just click on the top left comic book cover to see our listings! And No, We don't smoke, but don't advertise as such.
And No, the recent San Diego County Fires did not reach our comics and they were protected inside with two doors!
