Condition report:
Poor condition. The item is torn along the center. Cardstock is missing from the top edge, resulting in the loss of letters in the tagline. The pop-up shark element is creased and torn at the base attachment points. Moderate to heavy edge wear, corner blunting, and surface scuffing are visible throughout.
