The book will ship bagged/boarded and be very carefully packaged to make sure your book arrives as shown in the pictures. The book is complete with no pieces missing, the centerfold and cover are firmly attached. The book is in 9.6 NM+ condition in my opinion. I use Overstreet's grading criteria but the process is still subjective so please look at the pictures and judge for yourself. PLEASE NOTE the book has very slight spine stress (see pictures). I combine shipping at no additional cost (up to 3 books) and I have other key books for sale, take a look. Feel free to ask questions and thanks for looking.
