I purchased these about a year ago at an art supply store. The Copic paper is new and unused. I opened it once to check the number of sheets. The Maruman sketchbook has paper perfect for watercolors and is easy to draw on. I've used one sheet. The condition is good, but please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a brand new item, as it has been in someone's possession. I would like to sell them as a set.
