Thank you for your interest! I only collected from ‘82 - ‘87, and 98% of collection is from that timeframe. 95% of collection I personally purchased, off-shelf, brand new.  Always picky about quality and condition, so 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 books shipped in sturdy 12 X 9 mailer protected by two think carboard inserts.  Three or more books shipped in15 X 9 X 2” shipper
