I obtained this item at the time of its release and have kept it carefully stored in a sleeve in a dark place after opening it. (I took it out of the sleeve only once for the photos.) The card is in good condition and is beautiful, but it has a slight bend. I am an amateur, so I am not familiar with the standards, and there may be initial scratches, white spots, warping due to aging, etc. The perception of condition varies from person to person, so please refrain from excessive expectations if you are looking for minor initial errors or a truly perfect item beyond appraisal. If you have any questions about the item, please feel free to ask in the comments section. Because this is an expensive item, I will take great care in packaging to prevent bending and water damage. To prevent replacement, cancellations, returns, and exchanges are not accepted. Thank you for your understanding.
