The cards are kept in sleeves. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor imperfections. As these cards are stored by a private individual, they are for play. Please check the condition of the cards in the photos. The cards will be packaged either in sleeves and sandwiched between hard cardboards, or sandwiched between cardboard. They will also be protected from rain. I try to ship as quickly as possible, but please understand that there may be delays. If you have any questions or would like additional photos, please feel free to comment (*^^*)♪
