The condition of this card is my opinion based on experience and using the standards below as a guide. I have over 30 years of experience in buying/selling cards.

I ship quickly and package your card(s) well. A bubble mailer with cardboard is an option - USPS Ground Advantage; however, I also offer an eBay standard envelope option for purchases under $20 and less than 4 cards.

The pictures are the exact card. Please feel free to ask for better pictures if you are unsure about something.

My feedback should speak for itself but feel free to reach out with questions on shipping. **I do combine shipping.** If a card sells for under $20 the eBay envelope is the most economical option; however, a bubble mailer with cardboard and tracking is always an option if you are willing to pay for it.

-----------------------------------

Grading standards that I generally go by can be found at various grading companies. I like these listed on the "Just Collect" site.

MINT or MT 

A MINT card will be a nearly perfect card that looks as clean and sharp as the day it was printed. There will be no surface flaws, bends, creases, or stains on the front or the back. The picture will be centered within the borders with a ratio of 55/45 or better all-around and the corners and edges will be sharp and clean like a new business card.

Near Mint to Mint or NM/MT

A card that is graded NM/MT will appear as a MINT card to the naked eye but may have a little lesser centering and a light touch of wear that may be visible on a corner upon close examination. A card that is graded NM/MT should have no surface flaws, bends, creases, or stains on the front or back. Centering must be no worse than 60/40 all around.

Near Mint or NM 

A card that is graded NM will look virtually new at first glance. However, upon closer examination, there may be slight fuzziness to the corners, and minor color or print imperfections and the centering must still be 65/35 or better.

Excellent to Mint or EX/MT 

A more common “higher” grade for vintage cards, an EX/MT card may have slightly fuzzy corners, color or print imperfections, a slightly skewed cut, or a slightly out-of-focus image. Centering must be 70/30 or better all around.

Excellent or EX 

This is a more common grade for vintage cards. The corners may exhibit the beginnings of rounding from light wear. Surface gloss may begin to be affected. Cards should still exhibit at least 75/25 or better centering.

Very Good to Excellent or VG/EX 

Corners on a VG/EX card will show wear and may have light creasing near the edge. Centering must be 80/20 or better. A light wrinkle or minor crease may be evident on the reverse of the card. More serious print issues and cards with wax stains will also fall into the VG/EX grade.

Very Good or VG 

Very Good cards will exhibit moderate wear and the corners may be more rounded rather than square. Cards with a strong wrinkle or crease will usually grade VG regardless of their other characteristics. Likewise, this is typically the highest grade any card with a stain will receive.

Good or GD 

A GD card will typically have very significant wear with rounded corners, multiple creases, very light tears at the edges, or tape residue on the reverse. Any crease that cracks the surface (front or back) will generally not grade higher than GD.

Poor or PR 

A PR card will have significant problems, including ink or pencil marks, paper loss, creases, staining, heavy wear, pin or tack holes, tape, or minor tears to the card. A card with tape or a pin or tack hole may present in any of the grades above, but the flaw will limit it to a grade of PR.

**Every "slabbed" or "graded" card I sell will have the grading company's condition listed in the auction regardless of my opinion or the viewer's opinion.
