I buy most of my items from auction, or second hand. Which means I don’t always know where the item originated. If the item is labeled as used, there will be some type of  wear. Unless it is noted that it is in a package or is indicated that it is in mint condition. I do my best to document & photograph flaws in the item(s). As I am not a professional appraiser/photographer. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need any more information.
