Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as this item is managed by an amateur. I have used this item for "oshi-katsu" (supporting my favorite idol/character) several times. Upon close inspection under light, there are some areas where faint scratches can be seen on the surface, but there are no noticeable scratches, stains, or sun damage that are apparent under normal conditions. Instant purchase is OK. Price reduction is negotiable.
