The photos in the listing may or may not be the actual card you'll receive. If there were multiple copies available for sale, photos of the previously listed card are used again. However, each card is carefully inspected under 40X magnification to identify significant defects and prevent shipping counterfeit cards. It will be double-sleeved, inserted in a hard plastic top loader, secured between two Ding Defenders, and mailed in a quality bubble mailer to offer the best protection possible.
