There is a 12 in. horizontal line of smudging running along the bottom 3 inches from the lower edge. There is another 3 in. horizontal line of smudging extending from the center of the right edge. There are two minor scratches; one in the lower box on the left and another on the side of the box on the right. The paper is hinged to the mat in three places along the top edge. There are faint lines from the mat, mostly along the bottom edge. Overall, this work is in excellent condition.
