THE SLEEVE

THE GLOSSY PICTURE SLEEVE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE IS A ONE INCH TEAR AND CREASE AT THE OPENING TOWARDS THE TOP EDGE. OTHERWISE THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR AND TINY WRINKLES & MARKS. THERE IS SOME MINOR RUBBING TO SOME SMALL AREAS ALONG THE EDGES AND AT THE CORNERS. APART FROM THE TEAR THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND STRAIGHT AND THE WHITE TEXT ON THE BLACK SPINE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE!
