Rare Franklin Mint Official FIDE World Federation Chess Set Wood Board & Pieces

Description: I am offering a highly valued Franklin Mint FIDE International Chess Federation Chess Set. This set was released in 1990s. Some details about the set can be found in the last 3 images that show the COA, Letter and Catalog image (neither is included, but could be emailed to the winner). See the catalog info and my specific comments. Included - the board, the storage box base (under the board), 32 pieces. Pieces are 3" - 3.75" tall approximately. Condition - 30+ year old collectible. The pieces are in very good condition. Please keep in mind that this set is approximately 30 years old. They were displayed, but not played with. Signs of aging can be present and vary from piece to piece. These are hand painted and some paint can be faded especially on dark pieces. All 32 hardwood pieces have golden medallion bases. Both Kings have red cabochons (many other sets on Ebay are missing these). The board and storage for pieces are in very good condition, with occasional nicks on wood. Approximate 21" square with 2" height. The photos you see are the photos of the piece you would get. Nothing else will be included. I have other pieces, even the complete set and table too. None included here. I can include copy of the information pages as well COA (certificate of Authenticity) as an attachment via message or email, if you message me and request it. I also have other individual pieces available, if you need spare pieces. High resolution images of COA, Letter and Catalog page can be emailed to the winner if requested and without the green box that obstructs the image. Please examine the high resolution pictures closely for condition. Feel free to email me with any questions. Rare and in gorgeous condition. I don’t see any obvious defects others than those I have highlighted, but there could be some I missed. Ask me if you need additional photos.

Shipping cost includes actual shipping cost, insurance, packing time and materials. Please note that for each $1 you pay for shipping, only approx. 87c is passed to the seller, as Ebay & PayPal collect 13% commission even on your payment for shipping. All International buyers are responsible for the fees and charges incurred by their countryInternational shipping is done via Ebay Global Shipping program. Please make sure to select it, as If I need to ship myself outside of US, there will be a noticeably high cost that reflects USPS Express Shipping (when available) and additional time for packing and paperwork. However, I was told that EBAY global shipping partner often opens and inspects the packages. They will not package items back the same secure way I did.
