Condition report:
The collection is in a varied, used condition. The plastic jewel cases exhibit typical signs of shelf wear, surface scuffing, and occasional cracks to the lids or missing hinge teeth (photo 1, 2). The paper J-card inlays generally appear bright and intact, though some show minor edge wear and light fading to the spines. A handwritten price sticker is present on one case (photo 2). The magnetic tapes are visually present and appear to be in good physical order, although they are sold as untested for playback quality and audio fidelity.
