The items are listed as "new, unused," but some have been opened and some are still sealed. I apologize, as I'm not entirely sure, but many of the opened cards have a vertical line-like stain or scratch in the middle of the back of the card. (I'm not sure if this is how they are, or if it's due to poor storage...) The quality of the cards seems good, and I used to buy them without really understanding much about them. Thank you for your understanding.
