THE COVER: The glossy cover shows virtually no wear to the top, bottom and spine. The spine text is clearly visible and readable with just minimal light creasing. The covers surface is virtually free from any storage scuffing. All 4 corners show very light minimal light wear. The opening edge remains crisp and clean with no feathering otherwise there are no signs of any other forms of damage. So have graded the cover in NEAR MINT condition.

Appears to have had very limited play and is in awesome stunning condition.
