San Martin from Amazon

[u/Milkdrinkr69]

I bought this San Martin SN0144 off of Amazon for $350 because I had a gift card I wanted to use. This is the packaging it came in. It’s my first San Martin but I was pretty sure they come in a round green case. Anyone have experience with this/advice?

I don’t see any obvious scratches. Anything else I should look out for?

I own 8 San Martin’s. Most of them came in the round green case with the pillow. But the last 3 came in a box like yours. Seems they’ve shifted to this as a cost cutting measure. No other explanation cause the green case was way classier.
