● Condition:
Please Note: the Condition notes below reflect my personal opinion. I respect that Collectors may grade differently.
Condition of the Readers:
Most of the Readers are in Like-New Condition. Some have light staining, a school stamp inside the cover, other light damage, and wear from being 40+ years old.
Condition of the Teacher's Guides:
Some of the Teacher's Guides are in Like-New Condition. Some have light staining and signs of vintage wear.
Condition of the SkillsMasters Workbooks:
Series A Set 1 — All of the pages have been torn out, likely for copy-making. All pages are present — none are missing. This is the condition I received it in when I purchased it.
Series B Set 3 — New Condition. It's still wrapped in original shrink wrap.
The other SkillsMasters Workbooks look in Like-New, Excellent, or Good Condition; may show signs of vintage wear.
Please Note that the 2 SkillsMasters Workbooks (Series B Set 1) and (Series B Set 4) are Missing. After years of searching online for these 2, I have not been able to find them.
● Value:
Having a complete Collection of all 100 Readers with all 10 Teacher's Guides and 8 of 10 SkillsMasters Workbooks is unheard of. I've never seen them assembled all in one place like this.
Individual Readers and Teacher's Guides sell for $18–$26 each; for 100 Readers and 10 Teacher's Guides, the cost could be $1,980–$2,860. The SkillsMasters Workbooks sell for $30–$60 each; for 8 SkillsMasters Workbooks, the cost could be $240–$480. So the total cost would be $2,220–$3,340. My price is $2,000.
● Additional Information:
I've spent years carefully assembling this very special Vintage Collection, investing significant time and money to make it complete.
For a Collector, this Collection could save years of effort searching and piecing together, since the work has already been done.
These Readers are such a treasure, which is why I invested my time and money so heavily into collecting them. But because I'm streamlining our homeschool, I'm considering letting go of the items that we don't reach for.
That said, I’m not in a rush to sell these, because I know that once they’re gone I'll never own this piece of history again.
For this reason, I’ll only part with them for the right Buyer at $2,000 firm.
Serious Collectors will appreciate how rare it is to find this Collection complete — opportunities like this almost never come around.
