THE FULLY LAMINATED PICTURE SLEEVE, WITH SUPERB HARRY PECK ARTWORK, HAS TWO REAR FLIP-BACKS IS IN EXCELLENT- CONDITION. THE LAMINATED FRONT SHOWS SOME SLIGHT WEAR AND SOME SMALL WRINKLES. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SMALL CREASES AT THE BOTTOM LEFT-HND CORNER. THER EIS A LONGER CREASE AND SOME LIFTING OF THE LAMINATE IN THE TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER AREA. THERE IS SOME LIGHT RUBBING TO THE CORNERS. THERE IS SOME LIGHT TANNING TO THE BACK. THERE ARE A FEW MINOR CHIPS AT THE OPENING. THERE ARE NO SPLITS AND NO TEARS. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE STILL QUITE STRAIGHT AND THE TEXT ON THE NARROW SPINE IS STILL FULLY LEGIBLE.
