I immediately put it in a sleeve for storage. I don't think there are any noticeable scratches, but to prevent any problems, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about initial scratches, are very sensitive to imperfections, or are looking for a perfect item. Please purchase for play. Returns and refunds are not possible to prevent swapping. The item will be shipped in a sleeve, sandwiched between cardboard, and with waterproof protection. Type: Single card, 1 card
