Authentic. Most cards are Near Mint / Mint. Comes with Binder, Instruction Book and the Very Rare Paperback that describes all the cards in the set. Each card is sleeved with a CCG Sleeve then placed in the binder. I picked out all of these cards in this set, looking for Near Mint or Mint examples. A few may have some play wear, a really close to pack fresh set. Very Rare to find this whole set. Watch out for fakes on ebay.
