The condition of the cards varies, from those I pulled myself that are in good condition to those with whitening, scratches, and stains. The Sylveon card is particularly noticeable with its damage. I hope you can use them for play or shadowboxing, etc. I will ship them with waterproof and folding protection. I am also listing these on other sites, so I may have to cancel the order depending on the timing. Jolteon Vaporeon Flareon Sylveon
