MINT: flawless - removed directly from the pack. We won't use this grade unless we have personally removed it.

NEAR MINT (NM): may have been lightly handled or used - have a slight rub or abrasion on the foil surface - no whitening - often has no wear at all.  Keep in mind that it is “near” meaning close to mint condition.

EXCELLENT (EX): may show slight whitening, minor edge nicks and/or light surface wear - card still looks great - still a collectible card.

FINE (FN): will likely have some whitening, possible nicks on edges or corners, may have a light bend or crease - very suitable for play - but not likely a collectible card unless highly rare.

VERY GOOD (VG): has seen extensive play - whitening on front & back, may have nicks or scratches on surfaces / edges, light dirt along some or all of the surfaces, possible bend or crease (usually noted in description) - should probably be played in a colored sleeve.

GOOD (GD): has seen heavy play with quite a bit of whitening, surface wear and may exhibit minor creases, dirt and/or bent surfaces - generally needs to be used in a colored sleeve for competitive play.

POOR: generally in a much worn condition - only listed if extremely rare or has a very special characteristic for play - must be used in a colored sleeve for play.

+ or - used when the card is slightly better or worse for the grade specified - example EX+ would be a card better than the average grade of Excellent.

Photo Images:

We try to use actual photo images of the cards that we sell to illustrate the general card being listed - however due to multiple items available for a specific grade - the photo image may not be of the actual card that you will receive.  The cards selected will match the grade that they are being offered at.

If you require a specific photo of the card for collecting purposes for example - please contact us and we will provide a scan of the actual card being sold.

Keep in mind that this is usually reserved for higher priced or rare cards where condition is a large part of the price factor.
