The comics have been carefully kept and stored as part of my personal collection. They are raw, un-graded books. Overall, the collection ranges from Fine (FN) to Very Fine (VF) throughout.. Please examine the high-resolution photos carefully to determine exact spine condition, corner sharpness, and page quality to judge the grades for yourself. The signatures present beautifully across all covers.**Provenance & Authenticity Photos Included:**
These autographs were obtained by me in-person at the Heroes Convention (HeroesCon) in Charlotte, North Carolina, over the weekend of June 17–19, 1994. To guarantee authenticity, I have included photos in this listing of:
1. Myself standing with creator Jeff Smith at his table during the 1994 convention.
2. The original 1994 HeroesCon convention program book, which I still own.
