The gallery's condition reflects proportionate wear, consistent with respectful handling over the years. Naturally, the appearance of the oldest cards expresses this to a greater degree than the newest ones. The "youngest" cards from the 1950s are mostly VG/EX to EX. Trending older, the bulk of the 1960s material is generally EX to EX/MT (again, becoming nicer as year-of-issue within the decade advances) and the 1970s is mainly EX/MT to NM.
