Paying that much for a comic, I wouldn't just expect, but demand the book be shipped in a box and be insured.

yeah i recently made the mistake of not shipping properly( it was my first one) and caused a big stink so gave a full refund and that was that.. i learned though and now no matter what it is it will be bombproof.. plus not saying this is what happened, but i had no proof of wether it was damaged or not, so to avoid all this unsureness its just better to be secure the first time.
also pertaining to todd, i recently sold my todd # 1-4 on ebay and some sniped it at the last second for 1.25. lucky ..
