After opening, I stored it in a bag in a dark place. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned, as it is stored by a private individual. There are no noticeable scratches. Shipping may take more than 3 days depending on the purchase date. It will be wrapped in one or two layers of bubble wrap and protected from water damage, and shipped via standard mail. - Immediate purchase is possible - Please feel free to ask if you have any requests or questions
