***************************************************************

50 plus years of collecting and its time to pass along mydoubles to the next generation. This is going to take a while so if you want tofollow along note that I can only manage to post a few at a time.

Regarding grading....I am by no means a professionalgrader…however…I have been doing this a long time and quite familiar with whatcollectors are looking at...and looking for. If an item is new then that meansit is sealed. (unless otherwise noted)  Other than that I will do my bestto grade conservatively. Please look at all pictures carefully. What you see iswhat you get. No stock photos used. No implied warranties of any kind and allsales are final. If you are super particular about corner dings it is up to youto look at the pictures and decide for yourself of the quality. I will alwaysdo my best to describe things accurately and If the jacket has a ding or creaseor split in my view….I will note it. But again, I know others may have differentstandards.

I may be new to the "seller" community but have a longhistory on eBay and 100% positive feedback. Just know that you are receiving anitem from a carefully curated and extremely well cared for personal collectionfrom a clean smoke free home. Buy with confidence.
