All cards in our listings come from original owners who purchased them at shows in the 1980s, or in packs at earlier dates. We only sell ungraded cards, because we feel the decision of where and when to grade belongs specifically to the next owner. Therefore all the cards chosen to be listed [even though they may have small inevitable detractions] will have enough special virtues to warrant this selection for the spotlight. Scans of the cards with a dark background were done with the scanner top open, those with a white background had the top closed. Any perceived variations are due to the picture editing program. Please view carefully the photo images provided, they are of the actual item(s) in the listing. Please ask any questions prior to purchase. No foreign sales, no returns.
