I purchased this at Tower Records. It has been kept at home in a sleeve and stored in a dark place, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Immediate purchase is OK ⭕️ Regarding the shipping method, I will use the cheapest method available. It will be simply packaged. (With protection against folding and water damage) If you have any other questions, please read the profile and ask in the comment section. *Please note that I cannot take responsibility for returns, refunds, or any problems during shipping.
