Thank you for looking at this 1951 Bowman #81 Brad Ecklund. Condition of this ungraded card is Poor and which is also listed in the "Card Condition" section of the listing. These conditions are my best estimate of card condition. The following is a quick idea of how I interpret the 4 condition categories provided as options by eBay:

• Poor: If I call a card poor it could be anywhere from Poor to Good. This card will have major defects such as creases and paper loss.
• Very Good: If I call a card Very Good it will have no creases but has significant wear in other ways. Small surface wrinkles, rounded corners, wax stains and rough edges are all possibly present in the VG band. This band would cover cards that start at VG and could be as good as VG-EX.
• Excellent: Excellent cards have wear but the defects are minor. There will never be a wrinkle or other major defect in the excellent category. These cards could be anywhere from EX - EX/MT.
• Near Mint or Better: This is a very clean card that has to be examined closely to find any minor flaws (if there are any at all).  These cards can range from NM - Gem Mint.

Shipping: I strive to do plain envelope shipping the way that I would want to receive a card shipped through the mail. All raw cards are shipped protected inside of a greeting card and then inside an envelope.  Raw cards ship at 89 cents plus 10 cents for each additional card.  If you have an order that reaches a certain price threshold, I will pay the difference between standard envelope and USPS Ground Advantage Shipping.  If you would like your card to be shipped in a different way feel free to contact me to discuss.
