Overall excellent condition with signs commensurate with age, noting minor indentations to the surface of the recto and slightly bumped corners. The verso is also in very good condition although the NASA MSC caption has bled through slightly to the recto. This is unlikely to be seen if framed without the margins as it does not affect the image.
