A+ transaction! This seller fulfilled pretty much everything one hopes for when buying vintage literature; the items were packed carefully (in an actual box, not a mailer), shipped quickly (arrived before ETA), and showed up in *perfect* as-described condition, with each piece in its own protective sleeve with backer. Worth every penny. I'm a happy customer!

This item is something that I have looked for for a long time. I was pleasantly surprised to find it available with this seller and a great price. It was expediently shipped and arrived far sooner than I expected. It was securely packaged and met my every expectation. I am thrilled to have this for my family archives.

Package arrived very quickly. Adequately packed although cardboard shipping box ends either collapsed during shipping or not deployed properly. I’m glad it was not an expensive card. And thankful seller did wrap the card in a layer of bubble wrap. Nonetheless, I did leave a positive feedback.
