The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

In addition to the catalogue description:
- trimmed on or just inside the platemark, with thread margins in places and retaining a fillet of blank paper outside the borderline on all sides.
- some very minor soft creases in places.
- a tiny thin spot at the lower left sheet corner, only visible in backlight.
- a narrow strip of white paper hinging tape along the upper sheet edge.
Otherwise as described and in very good condition.
