Why this copy received this grade: Visually graded VG: both pictured sides retain overall gloss, but close-up photos show scattered light surface scuffs and several visible light scratches, including a more noticeable line near the label area.
Sleeve: Very Good (VG)
What to expect: A Very Good sleeve shows obvious normal handling wear such as ring wear, creasing, edge wear, writing or seam wear, while remaining serviceable.
Why this copy received this grade: Visually graded VG: jacket is complete and displays well, with visible age toning/discoloration, light surface wear, and wear at edges and corners.
