Colourful card stand is clean, crisp and fresh with vivid colours.
Both pull-out tabs are present and tear-free. Traces of the original sellotape at the sides. Remains of the original rubber bands which held the items in place.
As-new condition crisp card – just a couple of very small wheel slot tears.
