The card in the photos is the exact card you’ll receive. Heavily played and worn. Lays flat and like others looks just fine sleeved up in a binder, but upon further inspection there’s much to take note of. It looks like it has typical “edge wear” but what’s really happening with this card is it’s started to peel all along the outer edge. The bottom right corner is a bit bent, and there’s a couple tiny spots where the cards surface has been knicked and you can see the foil treatment from the layer just below. I tried to get as much of the blemishing and damage in the photos as possible (and I’m going out and buying a new lamp to help illuminate my photos after this as well), but I’ve listed the card as “poor” condition as a catch all as there’s probably something I didn’t catch, so please look through the photos and gauge the condition yourself as well. I’m going to get back to listing m/nm cards for now lol
All cards I list are from my personal collection that I’ve acquired the last 30 years, so if it’s a card from Base Set it’s literally been with me the past 30 years, and the same applies for everything that’s released since. I’ll always try and make sure my pictures accurately show the quality and if there are any blemishes I will list them in detail. If I’ve used a card in play so much that its quality has suffered to the point of being immediately visible, I won’t even list it to begin with anyways. Most everything I’ve gotten I’ve always ended up sleeving immediately and placed in set binders or card storage, but I ask that you please discern for yourself the quality from the pictures I provide and if there’s anything that concerns you or there’s angles or something you’d like to better see, just ask and I’ll do my best to respond and accommodate your requests.
Within the past few years, I’ve had the vast majority of my most cherished cards stolen from me by people I’ve wrongly given my trust, and having watched the hobby for three decades through its falls and meteoric resurgences—it’s no longer something I recognize or want to be a part of anymore. Not trying to be a bummer just being fully transparent as to the reasons I’m selling now. There’s value with everything I’ve still got, and with my feelings towards the hobby as negative as they are and have been for a while now, I’d rather use that remaining value to help improve the quality of everything else in my life like reliable transportation, my home, and personal well-being.
With all that said, thanks for checking out my listing(s), and again feel free to ask any questions you may have and I’ll do my best to get back to you in a timely manner. Single cards I ship out in sleeves and toploaders in a small parcel envelope. Ive never had any issues prior, but If that’s not preferred let me know what Is and if able I’ll happily accommodate. Take care, happy bidding, and thanks again!
