COVER

This is an original laminated front, matt rear ,tri-flapped Ernest J Day cover. The front still retains a glossy laminate look , clean and bright with nothing more than some creases which are maily thumb-push creases towards the opening edge.The corners have some wear to them but nothing that affects the overall appearance , however the lower edge has a split approx 3 inches which does let this down , the spine is stll strong with no wear or middle splitting and fully readable print . The rear panel is free from writing or nast stains but has a small rub mark towards the top right hand corner , but generally still presentable and clean.The flaps are all clean with the exception of the split along the lower edge . Granted it's not the finest of covers but on the whole still presentable and would make a great fill in until a near mint one comes along.Have seen alot worse than this ! (see-pics)  VERY GOOD CONDITION !

VINYL

Both sides retain a glossy shine but several surface marks are visable , a couple of light scuffs and some more feelable small scratches , not a beat up copy but it has not been treated with too much respect .Both sides play through amazingly well , there are some distractions to both sides but nothing that can't be tolarated.No skips, jumps or repeats , just crackle and clicks here and there. All said and done, it's not a superb copy ! but a playable one that's still got some life left in it and doesn't look too bad ( see-pics)  Visualy and Audibly  VERY GOOD  CONDITION
