I put it in a sleeve immediately after taking it out and stored it in a dark place. Although it is new and unused, I am listing it as "Like New" just in case. I believe it is a beautiful item without any white spots or initial scratches, but please understand that this is a subjective assessment, and there may be oversights. To prevent any issues, please purchase it for play. Please check the condition in the photos and purchase only if you are satisfied. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition.
