New Warehouse Inventory in VG/VF Condition

   New and unread print magazine inventory from our original shipments many years ago. Our company didn't originally package the bulk of our magazines in plastic bags due to the volume of our shipments back in the day. Due to this lack of bagging, these periodicals may have slight imperfections which forces us to list them as VF/VF condition despite being new and unread. Magazines were also shipped through the U.S. Postal System without any covering and were dispatched as-is from the publisher. As such, they have been subjected to machinery, human handling, and other weathering rigors from the point of origin to the final delivery destination. We did start bagging everything in the early 2000s which made the storage and transport of comics and magazines more efficient and easier to handle. 

   Warehouse inventory refers to products that have been stored in our company's warehouse for the past few decades versus someone's house or basement which may have cat hairs, pet dander, odors, insects, and other detrimental contagions and contaminants that may affect the quality of products being sold.
