THE SLEEVE

THE FRONT-LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE, WITH THREE REAR FLIP-BACKS, IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH SOME WEAR, SOME WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATE AND SOME DISCOLOURATION TO THE BACK. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT. THE TEXT ON THE SPINE IS STILL CLEARLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL APEARS TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT I CAN SEE A FEW LIGHT MARKS.

I ONLY NOTED SOME VERY SLIGHT AND OCCASIONAL SURFACE NOISES AND THE ODD MINOR TICK & POP.
