Condition report:
The collection is in mixed condition. Mint stamps in original presentation packs and packets appear to be well preserved. Used specimens display a range of cancellation types, with some cancellations partially obscuring the designs. Physical condition of loose stamps varies, with occasional short perforations, light creasing, and storage related wear visible. The 1980 album and outer envelopes show signs of shelf wear and ageing.
