Stored in a sleeve immediately after opening. Although I don't see any noticeable scratches, this is a personal inspection. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about initial scratches or are very sensitive. Although unused, it has been handled several times for photography, so I marked it as "Near Mint". Please consider it for play. Please consider only if you understand that this is a used item. Please confirm the images and purchase only if you are satisfied. Returns and refunds are not accepted to prevent replacement, so please understand. Packaging will be in a sleeve & Ziploc bag, reinforced with cardboard. Shipping will be via Yu-Packet Post Mini with tracking. Thank you.
