this is a used preowned vhs copy of the hunt for red october.first off i did not watch this movie myself but it appears to have been fairly taken care of.anyway there is some wear on the case of this item.the wrap was slit along the bottom of the case to allow the cassette to easily slide in and out.there is a tear in the wrap on the front of the case.there are some scuffs and scratches throughout the case,mainly on the wrap itself but some of the defects have transfered onto the case itself.there is also some corner rounding and fraying along with some edge wear mainly due to the tightness of the wrap but also from shelf wear.the inside of the case has some yellowing and spotting.the cassette itself has some scuffs and scratches on it throughout but nothing abusive i dont believe.thank you for looking at this listing.
