Condition report:
The collection consists of raw, unproduced comic books. The 1994 Punisher crossover issues and the 2015 Predator issue are stored in protective bags and boards and generally appear in Very Fine to Near Mint condition. The modern reboot issues from 2015 to 2017 are unbagged but show sharp corners and vibrant colors, generally appearing to be in Excellent to Near Mint condition. Minor color-breaking spine ticks and light handling wear are visible on some issues, consistent with careful ownership. All covers remain attached with no visible tears or significant staining.
