This item is a wrapped box from BBCE. BBCE is ensuring that the item has not been tampered with and is still in the same unopened format that it was when it came out. We CAN NOT be responsible for the condition of the cards if you choose to open the box nor can we be responsible for what you may or may not get in the box. The only guarantee that you are receiving is that the box has NOT been tampered with. Many glossy cards from the early/mid 90's have a tendency to brick (get stuck together). Again, if you open the box, that risk is solely on the buyer.
