I have a pile of graded books and never had one slide around like this. So, It is a first for me.   

It seems some of you missed this part-"Not sure if this was damaged in shipment or not"....wasn't blaming the seller, I just assumed it got damaged during shipment, especially considering the large cut/stab mark on the box.  That is precisely what my message to him said, looks like it got damaged during shipping; never "blamed" the seller.

I was puzzled how the inner well was moving if the outer part of case was fine.  I didn't know it was some possible design defect but now I do.  

Had a comic arrive this morning where the comic is sliding around inside the case, video below.  Not sure if this was damaged in shipment or what, the outer part of the case has no scratches or anything??

Seller doesn't accept returns but have filed with Ebay to resolve.

Thanks for the input.  

I did reach out and he said the book pictured had been sold a long time ago and the one he sent me was a higher grade (VF).  I can return if not satisfied

I realize this isn't an expensive comic but being KIND of a noob to buying raw older comics, needed some advice.  Bought this on Ebay and obviously received a different comic than advertised.

The thing is, there are parts that are better looking than the ebay ad comic (1st comic), but then there is this horrible black streak across Mr Hulk here in the new one (What caused this? it's not the bleed through)...the staples and spine are better in the one i received, but the black streak, ugh.  I wanted the book because I've always liked the cover.

What would the more experienced do in this case?
