CONDITION:
Good condition, complete with telescopic box and 78 cards. The deck has a very slight warp due to the thinner cardstock. Corner and edge wear show some use. Each card has handwritten French inscriptions in black pen, ink, and pencil. The box is well preserved and in good condition overall, though missing one side of the upper box sleeve. The inner box sleeve has split seams in the top part of the box (see pictures), and there are some lacks, rubs and bumps.
