⚠ AI-Estimated / Approximate Condition Profile
Cover shows strong gloss and sharp corners with no visible creasing or spine stress. Edges appear clean with no chipping, and the barcode/logo box shows 'Direct Edition' text with UPC intact and unblemished. Slight glare on the cover surface obscures fine detail in a couple of small areas but no defects are apparent. Interior and back cover were not assessed, so grade is based solely on this front cover photo.
