Condition report:

The collection appears to be in overall very good to fine raw condition. Several independent issues are housed in protective plastic bags with backing boards and show minimal handling wear. Unbagged issues, specifically the Marvel Bronze Age titles, exhibit more visible signs of age including spine stress lines, minor edge blunting, and surface rubbing. One copy of Vanguard Illustrated number 3 has a circular red price sticker adhered to the upper right corner of the front cover. None of the books have been professionally graded.
