This is a complete set of Popular Electronics magazines from 1975, featuring the debut of the Altair 8800 (the computer that Bill Gates credited with prompting him to form Microsoft).
The term "uncirculated" in the title is typically used for coins, so it is a bit of a misnomer when applied to magazines. However, there isn't a word that accurately describes the unique and rare nature of this particulre full-year set.
The magazines are in excellent condition considering their age (see pictures). They are single-owner issues purchased directly from the magazine rack 49 years ago. They have never gone through the mail and do not have a mailing label. There is a small 1-inch tear in the back cover of the June issue, a slight amount of cover wear on a few issues, and the expected amount of color fading due to age. However, other than that, there doesn't appear to be any substantial damage. No writing, highlighting, stains, water damage, or sun damage. The corners are in great shape. The mail-in information cards are still present. The spines are well-preserved (see pictures).
Each issue comes with an acid-free dust jacket that was added for this sale.
These issues cover a variety of topics, including audio & hi-fi and computer & IT of the 1970s and the now-famous Altair 8800, making them not only a valuable resource for enthusiasts but also a highly sought-after part of computer history for collectors.
The magazines are written in English and were published in the United States.
This set is an excellent collector's item for any serious collector or anyone interested in the history of electronics and technology.
I have personally never seen an "uncirculated" set like this one before and probably never will.
