Condition Report
- Corners: Shows rounding and significant softening on all four corners, typical for a well-loved vintage specimen.
- Edges: Light chipping and minor wear are visible along the borders, consistent with the O-Pee-Chee rough-cut era.
- Centering: Appears slightly shifted toward the top-right, roughly 65/35 centering.
- Surface: Displays honest age wear, including light surface scuffing and some minor print defects common to this year's production. The bilingual back remains fully legible.
Grade Estimate
GD-VG 2.5 (This is an honest "collector grade" copy. While it shows more significant wear than higher-grade specimens, it is a sturdy, authentic placeholder that captures the vintage aesthetic perfectly.)
