The card has not been played, and it is near mint. What is shown in the pictures is what you will receive. If you would like more photos, please do not hesitate to ask. All cards will be shipped via USPS First Class in a padded envelope. They will come in a blue sleeve as shown in the pictures as well as in a top loader for added protection. Please allow 2-3 business days for handling time. I am also local to Philadelphia if you would rather pick it up in person at a public place. Be sure to check out my other listings or ask to see my collection! Please leave positive feedback, and I will do the same for you. Thanks for shopping!
