This would put yours in at around a 6th print.

Waiting to hear back from the seller.

I'm pissed, but I haven't heard back from the seller. I've also been picking up collections for over 20 years and I'm not shocked to find that the seller didn't check their items before putting them up for sale. I do recommend that anyone wanting to buy anything from this seller contact them and make sure that the items being offered are complete.

Even asking specific questions doesn't guarantee an accurate or honest answer. I once bought a bunch of Al-Qadim box sets and the seller was adamant that they were un-used and complete. LSS, they were neither un-used nor complete.You know, much of the missing items in you lot were MC sheets. It may be worth your while asking the seller if he stuck them into one of those MC binders. Worked once for me.
