The helicopter is unplayed with and shows no play wearWHY IT SAYS USEDThis category gives sellers only two choices, New or Used, with nothing in between. The toy is new. The card is not factory sealed. Rather than call a resealed card \"New\" I have graded it Used and written out exactly what is wrong with it below.CONDITION, PLEASE READThe original glue failed with age and the blister lifted off the card; it has been re-glued. When the old glue let go it took some of the card\'s printed surface with it, leaving a bare torn patch about an inch long next to the bubble. There is a close-up photo of exactly that spot.Also worth knowing before you buy: the card back is toned and soiled across the whole panel with a soft vertical crease, and the front has light scuffing through the logo. The bubble itself is intact with no cracks or splits, and the hang hole has not been cut or torn out.Everything above is shown in the photos, which are of the actual item you will receive. Nothing has been retouched to hide wear.SHIPPINGFree USPS Ground Advantage. Packed flat in a rigid box with the card supported so the bubble is not crushed in transit.Sold as-is with no returns, which is why the flaws are spelled out in detail rather than glossed over.
