The photos are of the actual card you will receive. Unless noted, you can assume the slab is in near perfect condition. Slab will be securely sealed in a graded card sleeve with ding defenders or cardboard for added protection. Standard shipping and insurance will be USPS Ground Advantage in a bubble mailer. Please check out my other auctions as I do combine shipping and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for looking and have a great day!
