I put the card in a sleeve immediately after opening it and have stored it in a dark place. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about the condition, as it is stored by a private individual. Please examine the photos carefully and make your own judgment regarding initial scratches and condition. Returns are not accepted to prevent damage from returns after shipping. Please be sure to check for any concerns beforehand. I plan to package the item to prevent folding and water damage, but please let me know if you have any other preferred packaging methods. Please feel free to ask any other questions in the comments.
