Valkyrie Profile Silmeria Wall Scroll

A couple of weeks ago, a vendor in Hong Kong approached us with an offer for about 100 Valkyrie Profile Silmeria wall scrolls at a nominal cost. The shipping cost would be considerable due to the weight and size of the scrolls and we sat on the offer for a few days. After some more prodding and goading, the vendor convinced us to buy and ship them into the States.

After a delay going through U.S. Customs last week, we finally received the shipment this morning. Each Valkyrie Profile Silmeria wall scroll measures 40 x 27.50" and covers a wall well with the images of Alicia on the left and Silmeria on the right. Note that the scrolls are new but since they were rolled into tubes by the shipper, the paper is slightly ruffled. They can be smoothed out by rolling the scrolls in the opposite direction and storing them like that. Please note also that the ends of the scroll bars feature end caps which may have dug into the paper, causing small nicks in the scroll.

Pricing is set at US$19.00 per wall scroll which includes USPS Media Mail shipping anywhere in the contiguous USA. USPS Media Mail normally delivers in 5-20 days depending on your proximity to our location in New York City. Orders are welcome.
