The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The sheet is hinged periodically at the upper edge to the backing board. A light layer of surface dust is present. Bumping, soft creasing, and tiny nicks are intermittently to the corner-tips and extreme edges, and small spots of skinning are to the left corners. Adhesive residue is to the upper right and lower corners, presumably vestiges of previous hinging. Visible under close inspection and raking light, a fine diagonal abrasion is to the left lower edge, and faint surface scuffs are occasional. A few pinpoint accretions are infrequent. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
