I think that he kept the previous posts up to date on what sold so if you see something you’re interested in on his previous posts, let me know. Those are posts #11302 (pg 453), #11345 (pg 454), and #11373 (pg 455). I won’t be as quick in responding as he was so you’ll need to be patient with me.
Like Bill was saying, I’m not good at grading but have a tendency to use ‘Pristine’, ‘Excellent’, etc. so take a look at the pics I’m posting on the “Dolso Fine Cases” thread to make your own judgement. I’ve sold enough on here that I think there are some that would vouch for me. If you require additional pics, PM me & I’ll get to them as soon as I can. Additional pics will probably go by email instead of posting here. I ship everything UPS, payment is by PayPal F&F. I do charge for shipping.

It was in one of my cases for years so was protected quite well until about a year or so ago when I sold that case. Even after the case, it was stored in the back of a bookcase so it didn’t receive sunlight. Double book set in its’ own slipcase as issued. The slipcase has a VERY slight bow to the sides. The slipcase typically has some fading on the ‘Queen’ art but this copy appears bright and clean. Other non-presentation copies I’ve found are $1600 to $2200.
