Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! Noble Knight sells books (fiction and nonfiction), magazines and comics, in addition to board games, war games, miniatures and just about anything gaming or geek culture related. Just about anything printed could be sold at Noble Knight.
Noble Knight gets all of their printed material from manufacturers, distributors, author/artists, or from trade-ins from customers.
Noble Knight carries books and magazines in a wide variety of languages, including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and many others. To make it easy to identify we also include the language of the item in the title, if an item is not in English.
There are a variety of methods we use to tell what printing a book or magazine is. For most books and magazines, it will state what printing or edition the item is on the copyright page. Another method is to look for printer's key or number line on the copyright page. For those, the lowest number listed indicates the printing.
For other items we will have to do a bit more research. Ultimately, we review the product, compare it to other versions of the same title, check online resources, or make our own best judgement based on our years of experience about what printing or edition an item is.

Noble Knight does do special orders of items that are still in-print and available. If we cannot make a special order, you could put the item on your want list. This will notify you with an email when the item is back in stock. A word of warning though, rare items may not stay in stock for long!
Noble Knight aims to have a very searchable database. We have over a million unique item listings, so it is helpful to narrow your search. Two of the simplest ways to look for similar items is to look at other items in the same product line as the item you enjoy. This will show items that are similar or maybe even in the same game system. Another option is to click on the genres that are listed on the page of the item you like. This will show all other items that have this same genre or tag.
Noble Knight grades the condition of comics the same as it does any printed material. We grade on a scale from Mint/New down to Fair based on the state of the item. When we have a sealed CGC graded comic, we will put the CGC and the grade in the title.
Newsstand editions were sold at supermarkets, bookstores, and other general retailers. Newsstand editions featured a traditional barcode on the cover. Conversely, direct editions were sold exclusively to comic book shops and often replaced the barcode with a logo or image.
With the varying size of some comics this is not always an obvious call. We at Noble Knight make the distinction between the two by asking if the item is a single issue, possibly from a series, or a collection of multiple issues. A single periodical is a comic, while the multiple issue printings or reprints are graphic novels. Graphic novels can be hardcover or softcover and come in a variety of different bindings.
