The Condition of Inside the Gatefold is Unknown due to the Gatefold is still in Shrink Wrap, except for the vinyl insert opening.
The shrink wrap is unharmed, except for slight splits at the upper and lower right corners/side at the opening. The shrink wrap has shrunk over time (about 1/8 of an inch at the opening), which is common due to the opening and aging.
