I sleeved and stored the card immediately after pulling it. I obtained it for my collection, so I have never used it in battle, but please consider it for play to prevent any issues. In my amateur opinion, the condition is quite good and it's a beautiful item, but it is still a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Please be sure to check the condition in the photos before purchasing. Please refrain from price negotiations. Thank you.
