eBay Card Condition Guidelines:  https://pages.ebay.com/cardconditions/

According to eBay's card condition guidelines, the most significant flaw anchors the condition of the card.

• Corners: The quality of corners is determined by the number of flaws on the corner of a card. Flaws include rounding, softening, or splitting.

• Edges: The quality of edges is determined by the amount of apparent wear or damage.

• Discoloration: Refers to any yellowing, cloudiness, staining, or sun-bleaching on a card.

• Creases: Refers to bends or folds in the cards.

• Surface Indentations: Refers to any dents, craters, pinholes, or cavities on the surface of the card.

• Scratching/Scuffing: Refers to any marks caused by scraping or brushing. This type of damage can appear on either face of the card.

• Staining: Refers to any wax stains, ink stains, or bleeding color on the card.

Near Mint or Better

Cards in Near Mint condition are equivalent to a fresh pack. They only have slight imperfections such as 1-3 rounding or soft corners and slightly rough edges. Any damage aside from this would automatically lower the cards condition.
