Condition report:
The yellow cardboard box exhibits typical age-related surface wear, including light staining and some scuffing along the edges and corners. The printed graphics and text remain clearly legible throughout. As the packaging is currently encased in a clear plastic wrap, the individual cartridges have not been removed for inspection; however, they are assumed to be in live, original condition.
