May number has acid free tape on verso to repair a few tears and a couple of tiny losses to peripheries. April number has two minute stains, a small piece of transparent tape on verso at lower left, and a minute tear at lower right. Both have brief notes in pencil at upper left corners - presumably collector's notations.
