The collections condition reflects proportionate wear, consistent with respectful and light handling over the years. Naturally, the appearance of the oldest cards expresses this to a greater degree than the newest ones. The "youngest" cards - 1970s to the present - deliver a pleasing EX to NM overall aesthetic. Trending older, the 1960s material is generally a very consistent EX to EX/MT overall and, lastly, the 1950s have an aggregate range of VG/EX to EX (some lesser).
