All photos are high quality and excellent sharpness, photos are about 1.5 x 2.25 inches in size, some manufacturers made their cards a fraction of an inch, larger or smaller. Most cards are in color, others in black and white. Less than 1% of the cards have a folding mark or other defects, the rest are in excellent condition without faults. Photos are very shinny and reflects the light, difficult to take clear sharp pictures without reflections. .
Original cover with some fading and wear particularly around the edges and spine, the pages are loosely attached to the spine, first page is loose.
All pictures very carefully placed in their spaces.However, it seems that whoever filled this album didn't have all the photos of the collection, and filled a few spaces, on a few pages, with a few photos from other cigarettes manufacturers.
All pictures in excellent condition, no folding marks or other kind of damages.
No tears, no rips, no defects other than the items mentioned above.
