Condition report:
The die-cast vehicles appear to be in unused, factory-sealed condition within their original containers. The packaging shows significant age-related wear and shelf fatigue throughout the collection. Notable defects include yellowing, brittleness, and cracking of the plastic blisters, particularly on the Star Trek and Pontiac Firebird cards. The cardboard backings exhibit creasing, edge tears, corner softening, and some surface loss. Several cards bear handwritten price markings and remnants of original adhesive price tags. The Pontiac Firebird card has a significant tear at the top hanger hole.
