The albums are in very good condition with minor age and handling related imperfections. The signed album has some wear at the corners. The other 3 albums still have their original plastic wrapping and have not been opened. The records are included.
It is very uncommon to have a signed LP by Ayn Rand. The autograph is fully authenticated by JSA.
