Both translites are free of cracks, chips, and major damage. They may show very light handling or storage marks consistent with age, all of which are visible in the listing photos. Please examine all photos carefully, as they are an important part of the description and accurately represent the condition of the items you will receive. No attempt has been made to clean or restore the items.

Your translites will be packaged securely between rigid protective materials to prevent bending or damage during transit. They will remain flat and will NOT be rolled. They will be shipped with tracking and insurance for safe delivery.
