There is a two inch flattened crease diagonally across the lower right corner and a nail-head sized surface abrasion with associated loss about four inches above the bottom edge towards the center. There are also two long faint scrapes in the central 1/3 of the sheet running parallel to the bottom edge, about one inch above it. There is also minor surface dirt.
