TOP EXAMPLE

almost as new

one of those silver covers (like Hard Meat) which displays wear as soon as it is handled - this one has been in archive storage for over thirty years but still has slight rubbing to the extensive silver and white areas - mostly one long faint mark to the front upper right (see photos) caused by a crease from the printing press to the inside gatefold - this was created at the manufacturing stage and has been there since new - the sleeve is still almost exactly as it would have been when first made - still smells brand new and fresh from the spiral factory! - NO splits, tears, writing, stickers, stains or scuffs - merely one tiny bump to the top left corner - perfect spine with crisp, clear titles - super tight seams with NO shelf wear - opening edges razor-sharp - only minimal circular wear (rubbing) to the silver colouring on the rear - stunningly clean, bright, white interior layout with just a few tiny glue specks (again, there from new - this often occurred in the cover printing process) - yet another one notoriously difficult to obtain in top shape since the largely silver exterior cover and matt finish reveal rubbing and colour-loss so easily - this one is still very fresh and close to being the best you could ever wish to find - still 'stiff' when opening the gatefold, just as it was when new! - all artwork bright and strong with rich, vibrant colours - A FINE EXAMPLE
