The 55 cards in this near-mint/mint set are new and have recently been pulled from packs.  The sticker sets (which consist of 11 stickers) are also near-mint/mint!  There is no gum residue on either the cards or the stickers.  The cards are vivid and colorful, and the storyline is outlined on the backs of the cards.  The subject matter is somewhat violent so the set is not recommended for children.
