THE SLEEVE
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS SLEEVE THAT I EVER HAD THE PLEASURE TO HOLD. THE FRONT SURFACE IS USUALLY FOUND WITH THE COLOUR IN A POOR CONDITION, OR RING WORN, BUT NOT THIS ONE, IT'S IMMACULATE AND HAS VIRTUALLY NO BLEMISHES
IT HAS BEEN HOUSED INSIDE A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE FROM NEW AND THIS IS THE REASON FOR IT'S INCREDIBLE CONDITION
NON LAMINATED MATTE BROWN SINGLE SLEEVE
FLAT AND CLEAN AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES, NO BENDS EITHER. THERE ARE JUST FOUR MINUSCULE PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE
THERE ARE NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, ONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.
NO RING WEAR AND ONLY THE BAREST SLIVER OF RECORD SHAPE ABOVE THE BOTTOM EDGE WHEN ANGLED INTO THE LIGHT
THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE
THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE COLOUR IS INTACT, AND FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNDAMAGED
THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE WHITE TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH ENDS ARE PERFECT
THE OPENING EDGE IS VERY SHARP
THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS SPECTACULAR AS THE FRONT. ONCE AGAIN THE COLOUR IS PERFECTTHE ANGLED CORNERED INNER SLEEVE IS IN NEAR PRISTINE CONDITION. IT IS THE FIRST ISSUE THAT ONLY HAS THREE CORNERS CUT WITH ONE OF THE BOTTOM ONES REMAINING SQUARE.
TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED AND HAS NO SEAM SPLITS, JUST A TRACE OF AGEING TO ONE EDGE THE THUMB NOTCH AT THE OPENING EDGE IS REMARKABLE FREE FROM ANY SPLITS OR TEARS
THE POSTER IS IN MINT CONDITION
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
