It's as new as how we bought it 20 years ago.

This has been in safe keeping for so long in a box almost the exact same size. 

So it's pristine.I tried to make the photos show corners storage wear, it's limited but you have to stare at it. Probably from being on the shwlf and in the store.

Watched once and recorded on a larger tape.

Every video is in near mint condition, room temperature stored, no pets,no smokers, no humidity.

I looked for outer box flaws and couldn't find much, see pictures.

inside cases are also in pristine shape, better than outside box somehow.

Definately a rare condition, even I'm surprised, but I think that's the time that has gone by so fast before making my way to that part of the cabinet.
