wondering if anyone else bought from this group that was offered on Ebay? Did you receive the book(s) yet?

The Mr Mystery 10 has a couple tear seals to interior pages; seller claimed to have no clue what that even means. just wondering if anyone else encountered something similar...

He did tout the books as an OO collection, didn't he? It's possible that the owner repaired his books, but that isn't a good sign...

Sorry to hear that. It could be an old repair, I picked up a bunch of ECs at one time from a collection years ago, and all were OK except for a Vault 27 that had color touch and tear seals with a dot of glue. Just glad they didn't bother with the other books!

Awesome. Nice copy of a book that's real tough with nice eye appeal. I've had a few lower grade copies; still in the market for a nice mid-grade. Nice goin!
