Several 1991 issues bear the Captain America 50th Anniversary logo on the cover. All items are raw copies in standard American comic book format.
Condition report:
The collection ranges in condition from Fair/Poor to Very Fine. Issue 44 is in low grade, exhibiting significant spine wear, edge chipping, heavy creasing, and surface scuffing. Most issues from the 1980s and 1990s appear in mid-to-high grade with typical age-related wear such as light spine stress marks (ticks), minor edge wear, and slightly blunted corners. Issue 278 is housed in a protective bag with a modern price sticker affixed to the plastic. No covers appear to be detached, though issue 44 shows severe spine deterioration.
