Minor edge wear and light chipping are visible along the top white border on the front and the corresponding back edge. The corners remain relatively sharp but exhibit very minor softening and tiny spots of white wear, most notably on the bottom-right corner. The reverse shows typical toning and light print spotting but has no visible creases or stains.
