Although I haven't used them as calendars, I've kept them stored on a shelf. The cover of the 2005 calendar has a light stain (see image 2). The contents of the 2008 calendar, which was stored in a plastic bag, have small spots that look like ink marks (see image 4). Personally, I think they are in good condition, but they may not be suitable for those who are concerned about scratches or are looking for something in like-new condition.
