Nice looking pieces, except for that scratch. It really does look like he was trying to hide it, for sure.

I had a buyer once try to tell me that the comic I had sold him arrived with the spine damaged, despite the two layers of cardboard I put on both sides to ship it. I asked him to send me a picture of the damage; he then offered that "I must not have meant for it to get damaged, so it's no problem," but would not send a picture. Jerk. He was just trying to get a refund. Online transactions can certainly be shady.
