I kept it in a clear file and displayed it after I got it. It has been stored for a long time. Please refrain from purchasing if you are a nervous person who is concerned about minor details such as scratches, corner bends, and stains on the back. It will be put together in a plastic bag and reinforced on one side. It will be shipped via Yu-Packet Post using either Yu-Packet Post mini or a recycled bag. Please agree to the above before making a purchase.
