These comics are old and tanned, but can be handled with ease. Some dates, and/or edges, might be more tanned than others. Condition notes are predominately focused on the comic on the front side (comic featured for the auction). The color register is often off at least a but, but the printing generally pretty really good with these comics (nice color). Examine the photos to see how the comics look. These still look great despite our attention to detail on taking notes. In general, we rate the color register issues in the following (with increasing severity). This is just a quick assessment as we go through the set. Color register off a tiny bit - 1 date Color register off a bit - 1 date Color register is off some - 7 dates Color register is off - 5 dates with specific dates mentioned below Some dates have some slight ink transfer, but this is normally pretty minor. We also observed light ink bleed-through (did not note every case). The date is sometimes written in the margin of the reverse side. Some margins might be a bit narrow and there might be a few small binding holes in some margins (we mentioned some dates). Some dates might be on the centerfold of the newspaper. We also made some notes of some date specific issues (we tried to avoid making too many notes, and instead preferred to go the generalized condition notes above). This should serve as a guide to the condition of the set, it is possible that we have not caught everything: INDIVIDUAL DATE CONDITION NOTES 1-9 The bottom margin is narrow. 1-30 The bottom margin is very narrow and basically absent. 2-6 The bottom margin is narrow or very narrow. 2-27 The color register is off and the bottom margin is very narrow. 3-6 The bottom margin is very narrow and almost absent in some areas.
