I put it in a sleeve immediately after opening it and have stored it. I haven't used it for play, but Digimon cards may have initial scratches, so please consider it for play. I will prevent folding and water damage and ship via Mercari with tracking. Shipping costs will be reduced if you purchase with other cards. Search for #ひーさんデジモンカード to see other Digimon cards I have for sale. #Digica Immediate purchase is possible. Thank you.
