Condition Guide

Every card is graded by hand under good light before it ships. When in doubt, we grade down, not up.

Near Mint (NM)

Looks fresh out of the pack. May show a tiny bit of edge or corner wear only visible on close inspection. No creases, scratches, or noticeable whitening.

Lightly Played (LP)

Minor wear from careful play. Light edge whitening, small corner wear, or faint surface scuffs. No creases or major marks.

Moderately Played (MP)

Noticeable wear: edge and corner whitening, scuffs, or light scratches. Still sleeves up fine for play. May have a minor bend but no deep creases.

Heavily Played (HP)

Significant wear: heavy whitening, scratches, or minor creases. Fully legible and playable in a sleeve.

Damaged (DMG)

Major creases, tears, water damage, ink marks, or other serious damage. Priced to match, and great in a sleeve.

Foils

Foils can curl slightly ("foil curl"). This is normal and isn't counted against condition.

Graded cards

Graded cards are sold as graded by the grading company (PSA, BGS, CGC, and others). We don't re-grade slabs.
