Its corners are intact with minor rounding and minimum bumps. It retains some of its original stiffness and crispiness. Its edges are intact but show some signs of roughness, especially along the top edge. There is a small and minor nick at the center of the left edge, which is mentioned here for completeness. It has no pinholes, no graffiti, no tears, and no splits. A nice note worthy of a spot in your collection. Please see the scans for additional condition information.
