Whilst I try to list all the negative and positive aspects of an item in my listings it remains possible that some small aspect may be missed.You would be well advised to remember that unless I list something as mint it will be a used and/or antique item which may have the marks of day to day existence upon it, for example: the odd mark here and there, slight fading etc.
