CONDITION: Two small holes noted, one on the right rear shoulder and the other on the right front about 5" above the bottom edge - see closeup.The front one was a little more noticeable because of lighter colored facing behind it - I used a dark blue sharpee on the underlying white cloth and it blended in nicely - see other closeup. No other issues noted.
