The condition of course was "Proof" since these were proof sets. But also the boxes were excellent so that it was exactly what he advertised PLUS better than it had to be. The shipping was superfast. I expected it days later so he is very prompt in delivery. Shipping cost is just math and the # of stars is 5 because you factor shipping into the price but this is a seller I have marked for checking his items because this was a very good experience.
