Condition Expectations

[Rickyy]

Many years ago, I had the exact same experience...bought a 1972 Set advertised just like yours and most of the high number runs had corner water damage. This was purchased via mail the old fashioned way (back in the old days from a long time dealer). I contacted him and he told me I could return the entire set for refund or he could send me another one (he had multiples in his inventory) or to send back the damaged ones and he will replace them. I took the last option as the non damaged ones were as advertised. I agree that water damage is definitely out of the realm of the condition as described. Hopefully you can get a full refund.
