Please be aware that we always err on the side of caution, so a card in what some consider excellent condition, we will list as 'good condition', in which case no one should be disappointed. 'No major faults' for us indicates condition that is commensurate with age, without glaring creases or holes, but could mean minor bruising exists at corners, for example. Please always check scans which we aim to make as clear as possible.Powered by eCRATER widgets.foxrate.swf
