item is brand new and has never been used and is still in the original packaging. the item is a must have for your collection or would make a perfect gift this holiday season. it does have a slight bend in the cardboard but does not affect the car or the mint card. i checked the price per diecast registry so it is correct on what it is worth. see pictures for more details on the item and what you will be getting. what you see in the pictures is what you will get and nothing else. item #
