    Overall item is in excellent condition and well described. Fast shipping! Item was packaged extremely well and the best I have ever seen anyone packaged an item to ensure it gets to the buyer in the condition as described. Will definitely be buying from this seller again as over all liked the fast shipping, describing the item extremely well, and then taking care of the item and packaging the item well to get there with no damages.

    Set of nine 1970 dated post cards depicting various soldiers from Duchy of Warsaw. Good condition as described in listing but has some spots and shows minor yellowing due to age. Item was packaged well in protective wrap and bubble wrap and shipped fast. Seller combined shipping, is responsive and very knowledgeable.
