Some jackets exhibit splitting to the bottom seams and general age-related toning. The three storage cases show heavy dust accumulation and surface scuffing throughout (photo 2). One case has a damaged or partially detached hinge strip (photo 3). The metal hardware on the cases shows signs of oxidation and surface pitting (photo 4). The condition of the vinyl media has not been inspected and is sold as seen.
