The estimated mid-grade condition of this lot is strictly a personal, non-professional opinion based on standard collector guidelines. Because paper grading is highly subjective, please carefully review all provided high-resolution photographs to independently judge the exact cosmetic state of the items before offerding or purchasing.Condition DetailsThis 3-piece vintage transportation ephemera lot is in good mid-grade condition, showing honest minor wear from age and handling:
