Condition Report
General: Condition: Very Good (VG+ / Near Mint). The calendars have been carefully preserved.
Vintage packaging: A full 9 calendars come with their original protective cardboard case/box, a detail increasingly rare and sought after by collectors.
Signs of time: As typical of large-format non-plasticized paper, a few volumes show a very light foxing on the white margins and cover (which does not affect the quality or integrity of the subjects and main photographs). Only a few extremely small storage creases on the corners of 2/3 copies. The inner pages and prints appear crisp, with optimal color tones.
No shipping outside the EU. Insured shipping
