    THE SLEEVE

     

     

     LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE.

    THE LAMINATED FRONT GLEAMS LIKE A POLISHED MIRROR

    FLAT AND CLEAN AND NO HEAVY CREASE LINES ON THE MAIN BODY OF THE COVER, NO BENDS EITHER. THERE ARE JUST FOUR PRESSURE LINES BY THE SPINE.

     THERE ARE NONE ALONG THE TOP EDGE, NONE ALONG THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

    NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE

    THE FOUR CORNERS ARE SHARP AND SQUARE

    THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES ARE 100% FREE FROM ANY SHELF WEAR, AND ALL OF THE LAMINATE IS INTACT, AND THE COLOUR FULLY RUNS FROM CORNER TIP TO CORNER TIP, AND EVEN THE TIP ENDS REMAIN UNDAMAGED

    THE SPINE IS FLAT AND UNSQUASHED, WITH EVERY LETTER OF THE BLACK TYPEFACE PRISTINE AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. BOTH ENDS ARE PERFECT

    THE OPENING EDGE IS RAZOR SHARP 

    THE REAR SURFACE IS JUST AS SPECTACULAR AS THE FRONT, ONE PRESSURE LINS NEAR THE SPINE, NONE ALONG THE TOP AND ONE ON THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND NO THUMB LINES ANYWHERE. ONCE AGAIN THE LAMINATE ABSOLUTELY GLEAMS

    INSIDE THE GATEFOLD REVEALS TWO NEAR MINT INNER PANELS. THE ONLY BLEMISH IS ON THE BOTTOM EDGE WHERE THE SLEEVE WAS CLOSED AT THE FACTORY BEFORE THE LAMINATE WAS COMPLETELY DRY, RESULTING IN A THIN PAPER PULL ALONG PARTS OF THE BOTTOM EDGE WHEN IT WAS OPENEND FOR THE FIRST TIME

    THE PLAIN WHITE  APPLE INNER SLEEVE IS IN EX CONDITION. TOTALLY FLAT AND UNCREASED AND JUST SHOWING LIGHT AGEING AND SOME RING PRESS

    I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS SLEEVE NEAR MINT

     

     

     

    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BID IF YOU CHOSE TO GO FOR IT
