There is some fraying on the very outside of a page or two on about 9 pages of the above issues. Again please emai for more photos to show condition since as I said I am not an expert on how comics are graded.
The black and white collector ones are mint they were protected in a pastic bags in the middle of the originals so they were very protected.
