Condition report:
The collection appears to be in used condition. Sleeves generally range from fair to very good. Many 7-inch picture sleeves exhibit significant ring wear, creasing, and edge fraying (photo 2, 3, 5). Several white card and paper sleeves show foxing, brown staining, and handwritten annotations (photo 2, 6). The Duran Duran Save a Prayer sleeve has an adhesive retail price sticker (photo 4). Discs were not inspected outside of sleeves; however, horizontal stacking evident in the storage images (photo 1) indicates a potential for surface marks or warping. Several 7-inch discs are missing original sleeves and are held in generic paper or plastic liners (photo 5, 6).
