I have stored the card in a sleeve immediately after opening the pack, so as the photos show, there are no noticeable white spots on the front and back corners, nor any major scratches or stains. I have never used the card in a duel. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about initial scratches, etc. Returns are not accepted to prevent swapping. You can purchase immediately without commenting. Negotiations for price reduction are not accepted. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment. When shipping, I will put the card in a sleeve and protect it with a loader, then package it and ship it with a tracked delivery method.
