THE SLEEVE

THE FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE ARE NO TEARS OR SPLITS. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR AND SOME TANNING TO THE BACK. THERE IS A MINOR CREASE TO ONE CORNER AREA WHICH IS MAINLY VISIBLE ON THE BACK OF THE SLEEVE. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE SLIGHTLY CRUSHED SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

THE VINYL
