I have kept this card in a sleeve immediately after taking it out of the pack. When shipping, I will place it in a sleeve and a loader, and sandwich it between cardboard. I will accommodate any other requests as much as possible. I don't see any noticeable scratches or initial damage. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor imperfections, as this is based on my personal observation. Returns are not accepted to prevent replacements. Instant purchase is welcome. Price negotiation is possible. Please feel free to ask any other questions in the comments.
