This item is published by Tetsudo Journal. It has been stored in a dark place. I believe there are no noticeable major stains or scratches. However, there is a faint stain visible on the back cover. As it is approximately 36 years old, there may be age-related changes such as small stains, discoloration, and creases. I would appreciate it if you could understand the current condition. Also, please understand that we cannot be responsible for any shipping-related issues. Please note that the paperweight in the photo is not included in the product.
