Smoke Free Comics??? Not unless you are buying from the original owner who did not smoke and they have been stored away properly through the years. Even then the comics will still have attracted odors!

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!

Thanks for reading this popular culture - comics - comic books blog post and feel free to comment below !

Just had to evacuate... no damage to our home or possessions.
Had a lot of ash outside, just like all of San Diego County seems
to have so far this past week!

Waiting until the end of the week to go get the cars washed!

The same would go for old magazines... as we pick up old Western mags
to sell along with our Western Comics.

Amen! Very well said! I sold a book from my smoke-free home (I do not state smoke free in my auctions) It was an older book that was purchased at an estate auction, this was stated in my auction! The buyer, sent me a very nasty email that it smelled like an ashtray inside! I do not smell very well and did not notice any odor before I sold it. The best one that I have seen was at the bottom of one sellers auctions, she states that even though her home is smoke-free, she cannot guarantee that items she sells have always been smoke free, nor can she guarantee that your mailman will not smoke around it!

Your quoting of the other seller's listing template has a good line to use!
