    While in my possession, all 4 newspapers have been stored between acid-free mats, have never been exposed to the sun, and have been in a smoke-free environment.  They are in reasonably good condition, but have signs of wear such as minor tears and stains not unusual for paper this old.  The bindings are not tight on any of the issues
    The newspapers will be shipped via USPS with insurance to cover the purchase price.
    No bidders outside of the United States accepted.
