The card will be placed in a sleeve and loader, and then shipped with waterproof packaging. Please be sure to check the images to confirm the card's condition and purchase only if you are satisfied. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition. To prevent any issues, please consider this card for play, not for collection. I am also selling this item on other sites, so if you are considering a purchase, please do so as soon as possible. In some cases, I may not be able to prepare the item.
