A NEAR MINT grading for this sleeve is accurate. VERY CLEAN CONDITION, especially for this notoriously hard to keep clean pure white sleeve. SHOP FRESH CONDITION !! AND ALWAYS KEPT IN DUST COVER AND STORED CORRECTLY ABSOLUTELY LOVELY AFTER 46 YEARS !!!- CENTRE LABELS
Both sides are Near Mint with ONLY ONE TINY spindle trail around the centre hole visible to my eye, further evidence of being virtually unplayed in the last 46 years !! Superb Example !!!
