In great condition for its age. That being said it has a few blemishes that I tried to capture in the pictures. It has a very small very minor surface scratch on the face side bottom left corner in the box that says (a scientist created this Pokémon after years of horrific gene- etc...) the edges have light paint chipping from the foil going on and a small crease or indentation in the back, also very minor. It looks 100% in a sleeve.
