Grading Report:
A PSA NM 7 is a card with just a slight surface wear visible upon close inspection. There may be slight fraying on some corners. Picture focus may be slightly out-of register. A minor printing blemish is acceptable. Slight wax staining is acceptable on the back of the card only. Most of the original gloss is retained. Centering must be approximately 70/30 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the back.
About the cards:
The final print run of Base Set was commissioned by the then Managing Director of Wizards of the Coast UK, Stephen Wilks, the demand for Base Set was still through the roof during the first quarter of the year 2000 and this wave was printed in the UK and primarily sold in the UK, France and Germany. 4th print has a very distinctive telltale sign; it looks exactly the same as a regular Unlimited card. however, at the bottom of the card where the copyright date can be found, you’ll see it has the date ‘1999-2000’. Base Set, Jungle and Fossil (the second and third expansions) were printed in 1999 and subsequent sets all feature the year they were printed in at the bottom of the card, as Base Set was originally printed in 1999. If you see the 1999-2000 date it means it was part of the final print run.
