Condition report:
The card sleeves exhibit typical signs of age and storage, including corner bumping, edge wear, and surface rubbing (photo 1). The laminated finish on the Godspell sleeve shows light surface scuffing (photo 1). Multiple sleeves have adhesive auction and retail labels attached to the front faces (photos 1 and 2). The vinyl discs have not been removed from the sleeves for individual inspection; therefore, the physical condition and playability of the media are unverified. Sleeves grade as Good to Very Good; media is ungraded. Sold as seen.
