Detailed Condition & Flaw Report

This vintage hockey souvenir is explicitly sold as-is. please read the following structural details carefully before purchasing:

• Overall Condition: This 30-year-old hockey paper item is in Used Condition, presenting brilliant front graphic colors and high visual appeal, though it carries typical handling flaws from stadium use.

• Creases & Wear: The cardstock body retains good overall flatness. There is light surface wrinkling and soft handling wear present along the top header area and down the right margin, typical of an item carried to a live game, but it does not break the central artwork.

• Edges & Corners: The bottom margin features a rough, hand-torn edge from where the main entry coupon was separated by the gate attendant at McNichols Arena, which slightly cuts into the "McNichols" text print. The top edge shows light natural vintage wear. The side edges are straight-cut, showing mild corner softening and standard handling fibers.

• Surface & Markings: The front face colors are exceptionally bright, vivid, and entirely unfaded. There is a small patch of light vintage surface discoloration/aging near the top right seating numbers ("Seat 13"), but it remains completely free from modern ink signatures or pen notations.

• Reverse Side (Flaw Note): The back displays clear promotional layouts and legal print. Please note that there are noticeable brown moisture/adhesive stains and vintage age spots running along the upper third and left margins of the reverse side. The lower AMC Theatres graphic remains bold and completely legible. The reverse is free of heavy paper skinning or modern tape.
