Condition Report
This raw example is in impressive vintage condition:
This raw example is in impressive vintage condition:
- Corners: All four corners show light, uniform touches consistent with an EX-MT grade. They remain relatively square without major rounding.
- Edges: The factory cut is clean, showing only very minor "chipping" typical of the O-Pee-Chee rough-cut style of the early 1970s.
- Centering: Very strong for this issue. The front image is well-aligned within the white borders, and the back is centered nicely with even margins.
- Surface: The colors are bright and the registration is sharp. No visible creases, stains, or wax marks are present on either side.
