I put it in a sleeve immediately after opening it and stored it, but there may be initial scratches. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this. Instant purchase is OK. I will put it in a sleeve, reinforce both sides with cardboard or a hard case, and ship it with water protection using OPP. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions.
