I have placed the item in a sleeve immediately after opening it and have stored it. While I haven't found any noticeable scratches, please consider it for play use only, as it is a personal inspection. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect, mint-condition item for collection. As there are individual differences in acceptable condition, please confirm the condition with your own eyes using the photos to prevent any issues. Please purchase only after understanding and agreeing to the above.
