Instant purchase is welcome. The photo will be shipped in the sleeve as pictured, with waterproof and cardboard protection to prevent bending. Gloves were worn when handling and sleeving the photo. There are no noticeable scratches, folds, or stains, but please understand that there may be initial imperfections and that the item has been stored by a private individual. I also have other member's photos, including complete sets, for sale!
