Please consider purchasing for play to prevent any issues. No need to ask before buying. Price negotiations and separate sales are not accepted. Please refer to my profile for information on packaging and shipping. For this item, it will be packaged in the same loader. Thank you for your understanding. I have stored the card in a sleeve immediately after opening it. I did not see any initial scratches with the naked eye, but please refrain from purchasing if you are aiming for a perfect collection.
