Condition Rating: Postcards & Frames are Near Mint, with Postcards remaining vibrantly colorful and evincing no thread loss, having been well-protected by their framing and matting (beneath which they may even actually be Mint, but due to inability to view hidden portions of Postcards given their fixed matting-backing, rating remains Near Mint)
