I put the cards in a sleeve immediately after taking them out of the starter set and stored them in a dark place. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor imperfections due to the fact that they have been stored by a private individual. This item is non-refundable. I don't see any major scratches based on my amateur assessment, but to prevent any issues, I've listed them as "no noticeable scratches or stains." Please understand. For play use. There may be overlooked cutting marks or minor scratches, so please take that into consideration before purchasing. Type: Multiple cards
