I put the card in a sleeve immediately after opening the pack, but I am selling it for play only to avoid any potential issues. To prevent bending and water damage, the card will be sandwiched between other cards for shipping. I plan to ship via regular mail, but I will not provide compensation for any accidents during shipping. Please comment if you have any other shipping preferences. Please refrain from negotiating prices for single item purchases. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for your understanding and purchase.
