It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases (Cover is still flat looking), a a couple of TINY creaselines near the opening edge, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!

The cover must grade Very Good(maybe +) if not better (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed)!!!!  THIS MAY NOT BE A MINT STEREO 1ST PRESSING - BUT WITH THE DETAILS I MENTIONED ABOVE - IT IS ONE OF THE RAREST I HAVE EVER SEEN - AND IT IS STILL IN VERY NICE CONDITION INDEED!!!!  IS A MASSIVELY RARE STEREO 1ST PRESSING AND VERY HARD TO FIND!!!!  DONT MISS OUT!!!!
