Label Condition - Near Mint (both have a couple of light spindle marks)
Sleeve Condition - Very Good Plus (VG+) This Earliest Blue/Black Tint Sleeve has a little wear, there is some light ringwear, there is some slight edgewear that I repaired well over 20 plus years ago when I re-glued The right front opening of the gatefold cover had the two sides glued together I am only downgrading it to this as some slight wavyness was caused when I re-glued (SEE LAST PHOTO). The spline is solid
It had no sticker on it when it was purchased.
