Are your Turtle comics in mint shape?

Ok, be honest. The new Mirage comics, I have two sets. One I read and one in mint shape for my collection. Most of the Archie comics and old Mirage comics are comics I read over and over again growing up and are not in mint shape. They are in good shape but not mint. I was just wondering, are your old Mirage comics and Archie comics in mint shape. Oh yeah I almost forgot about the Image comics. Well mine, I bought from the back issue section of the comic stores so of course mine are in good condition but not mint. Also with my Archie comics, I had them flat in boxes for many years so of course thes spines aren't crisp anymore. What shape are your old Turtle comics in?

About 80% of my TMNT comic book collection are in mint condition. They are in plastic covers with cardboard backing. They are then stored in an old english horseback riding helmet box. This is then placed in the corner of my closet so that no sunlight can touch my comics. The rest of my comics are in good condition but not in mint

I'm VERY picky about the condition of my comics. So I'd say the majority of my books are in mint/near mint condition. While I have doubles of a handful of issues, I mostly just take care when I read them. It's a talent.

Same here, around 85-90% I bought in near mint condition. Others as good as was available. Worst are few VG issues.
