The overall condition is very good, but this is an older set and not mint. I chose not to replace every scratch/nick, to maintain the color match as best I could. I don't see any real signs of yellowing or discoloration, though the clear parts are cloudy. Instructions are complete and very good, especially given the age of the set. No box. Baseplate has an odd upward curl to it (not dramatic, fairly evenly from center out to all four corners).
