An EXCELLENT grading for this sleeve is accurate. No writing on, no marks or wear visible at all, Just a very small amount of age spotting, (see Pics) . The spine is unworn and text is clearly visible and legible, always kept in a dust cover and stored correctly. Lovely !!!
CENTRE LABELS
ALL 4 sides are Mint with NO spindle trails around the centre hole visible to my eye, further evidence of the ONE PLAY claim SINCE 1980 !! Superb !
