Box : No splits, some light scrapes and shelf storage make on rear of box, front has some very small light dents towards top left corner. Overall one if the better boxes with no sun fading as most have. i also have a better condition rare box tray without scrapes but has a near invisible repaired split on one corner if buyer prefers that I can swap over from my copy. 

Poster : Large poster of white album photos  is near mint.
