Comments:
sleeve is a beautiful NM- , flat and has great color tone, corners and edges are tight and looks almost new // Vinyl is gorgeous. i could spot 1 hairline and 3 very small paper scuffs upon very close inspection. at a glance it looks stunningly glossy and clean. this is your "FOREVER" copy =)
