Condition Report

No tears or pin holes. Some minor scuffs to corners, with evidence of being handled over the years. Gloss finish, so reflects the light depending on the angle held. No overwriting of signatures. No folds or water damage. The side with the signatures has a mottled colour, but this is not water stains or damage. The card has been well looked after, in an envelope and away from natural light for many years.
