We are not professional graders. However, we do not want you to buy a card without having an idea of the condition it is in. On our older cards we make every effort to list it's appropriate condition by the grade guide listed below. The grade guide listed below are the guidelines from PSA.


WE DO OUR BEST & EXAMINE EACH CARD BUT WE ARE NOT PROFESSIONAL GRADERS.
