Condition Notes: Cards: Excellent, crisp vintage condition. Colors are remarkably vibrant and the gold foil/filigree accents shine beautifully. No writing, rips, or odors. Envelopes: Due to decades in storage and natural ambient humidity, the starch-based glue on the envelope flaps has reacted over time. Most of the original envelopes are currently sealed shut from age. They are included in their original banded bundles for historical completeness. Standard modern replacements (approx. No. 6 ¾ sizing) can be used if you choose to mail the cards. Box: Showing minor cosmetic corner rubbing, light edge wear, and storage toning as expected for paperboard pieces of this era.
