Condition report:
Sleeves: Poor to Fair. The cardboard outer sleeves show significant signs of wear, including spine splitting, fraying, heavy edge wear, and corner bumping. Visible defects include large areas of paper loss to some jackets, heavy creasing, ring wear, surface scuffing, and age-related foxing and discolouration to the spines. Media: Not inspected out of sleeves; however, given the condition of the jackets, the vinyl is expected to range from Good to Very Good condition with likely surface marks and dust accumulation.
