This item contains a handwritten good luck message. While I don't see any noticeable scratches, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor imperfections such as slight corner bends, as the paper was removed from the amulet. I plan to keep the message a surprise for the buyer, but I will consider posting a picture if there are many requests. The paper will be removed and reinforced with a hard case, and then shipped via Yu-Packet Post.
