I put the card in a sleeve and loader immediately after obtaining it and have stored it since then. I don't see any scratches to the untrained eye, but please consider it for play. I will ship it in a used loader via Yu-Yu Mercari. You can buy it immediately if you understand the card condition from the images. All cards will be packaged and shipped in used plastic loaders or transparent soft sleeves. The plastic loaders are used and may have scratches. They are only to prevent the cards from bending during shipping. Please note that the product does not include the loader itself. Plastic loaders are only for SEC and UR cards. Please refer to the photos and purchase at your own risk. I will add more photos or answer questions as much as possible. Thank you!
