Thank you for the help.
The pages are still there in the back, unperforated. I didn't even know about that. I will have to look more closely at things I guess. Only been at this since June, so am bound to slip up. I will look in all the various books/mags that I have, just to check out any more that might/might not have pages missing.
As to MINT. I will go by the standard as described on this very site when it comes to condition. And will certainly provide scans.
