For what it's worth this is, from the pictures I've seen, what I'd call a good dyesub set. There are no large scratches/marks, although there are some scuffs on the sides of the spacebar and other oottom row keys, which is quite common. The text seems to have very little or no fading, which suggests there should also be very little texture loss. Another important thing to consider is legend positioning which can differ between dyesub sets. I would call the legend positioning on this set very good to almost perfect. You can see that the enter, backspace and other modifiers have vertically centered text. You can see that the alphas have the legends in the top left hand corner, square on to the corner.
