- OUTER GATEFOLD SLEEVE
AN Excellent + grading for this sleeve is accurate. VERY CLEAN CONDITION, especially for this notoriously hard to keep clean pure white sleeve. Would be higher, but still has a price sticker on reverse, which i don't want to risk removing ?, so ill let you decide to leave or remove ? and a very light fingerprints mark bottom reverse only. LOVELY !!!- CENTRE LABELS
Both sides are Near Mint with NO spindle trails around the centre hole visible to my eye, further evidence of being unplayed in the last 46 years !! Superb Example !!!
ORIGINAL 1st Press PICTURE CARD INNER SLEEVE correct with 4 cut corners
NEAR MINT CONDITION UNMARKED, no splits , superb !!!!
