As second-hand items are pre-owned, they may show signs of wear or age. This can include print imperfections, scratches, or other forms of deterioration, some of which may be visible in images and/or noted in the product description. This guide is intended to provide a clear and comprehensive overview of each item listed on the Rose Archive website. We encourage customers to review all details carefully prior to purchase.

Condition descriptions and rankings are determined according to our internal standards and are provided as a general guide; individual interpretations may vary. If you have any additional questions or require further clarification, please contact us via email prior to purchasing.
