All cards are shipped in a penny sleeve put in a top loader and then put in a polybag. I do my best to make sure the card gets to you in the exact same condition you see it pictured. Please see pictures for exact condition of the card. Determining condition can be subjective and I do my best to accurately assign a condition defined by eBay. According to eBay, "Near Mint" condition cards display minimal or no wear or damage. They appear “fresh out of the pack.” Other than minor chipping, indentation, or scratches, the card shows no moderate or major signs of damage. These cards may be “never played” cards or cards that have been played with sleeves. -- Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
