Note:
Souvenir programs are 9 x 12 inches but may vary somewhat in size.
Condition is near excellent with minor wear
.
CONDITION:
I use a six-step condition scale to describe the overall paper quality:  Mint, Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor.  Good means just that:  desireable for a collection with no immediate need to upgrade.  Excellent and Mint are usually reserved for publisher and music store remainders.  Expect Good-minus and Fair to have considerable wear.  All specific condition faults are noted after the general condition.
IMAGES:
I use a digital camera so the entire piece is visible.
