This book is in very good vintage condition. These are a glossy finish across the face of each card, they appear to be a small photograph. There are corner issues on both covers and top/bottom of the spine. The covers are purple but have been faded over time. There could be light scratches or spot discoloration on the covers. The 200 picture view cards are all secured in book very well. There could be a couple of the matte type surroundings that have a small tear or discolored mark the cigarette cards themselves are in very good shape. I was able to remove one and show you the back of the card. The others are secured well and I didn’t want to mess with them. A few of the cards have a small crease, light scratches, or edge nicks. This is really a wonderful book from 1900.
Please review pictures provided for details of condition and please ask any questions before purchase.
