Thank you for your interest!  I only collected from ‘82 - ‘87, with 98% of my collection is from that timeframe. 95% of collection I personally purchased, off-shelf, brand new.  Always picky about quality and condition; easily 90% of all posted raw books are near mint plus (~9.4-9.8 if graded). 95% of collection has never been read or opened, and all comics stored under proper conditions for 35-40 years, untouched, until recently for grading by CGC or evaluated by myself. Collectors interested in high-quality books for careful reading and/or continued investment valuation are encouraged to purchase any book to evaluate for yourself.  One or two comics shipped in sturdy mailer protected with two carboard sheets.  Three or more comics shipped in 15"X9"X2" shipper.
