The 10 point Grading Scale: Poor (P) or
Fair (F) 1: A card that
has seen serious abuse or has a hole in it. Good (G) 2: This grade is usually the result of heavy
corner rounding, surface wear or creases. Any card with writing on it falls
in this category. (Writing other than an autograph of course). Very Good (VG) 3: A card that looks good from a
distance, but on closer inspection several defects can be seen without
magnification. This is the highest rating possible on a creased card. Very Good /
Excellent (VGEX) 4: This is the highest grade that a card can have with a
small wrinkle. A wrinkle is a crease that can be seen on only one side of the
card. Excellent
(EX) 5: This grade is
for cards that look really good, but show some wear. Excellent /
Mint (EXMT) 6: A card that looks mint, but upon close examination defects can be seen
without magnification. Near Mint
(NM) 7: A card that
looks mint, but upon examination with magnification, defects can be seen
usually on edges and corners. This grade is often given to cards that are new
right out of the packages. This is the best grade I would assume any
"raw" card is in unless it has been professionally graded higher.
Many sellers will tell you the card they are selling is a higher grade, but
unless the card is professionally graded higher, that is just so much seller
verbiage. I would always assume any new card right out of the package is Near
Mint when making a buying decision. The best dealers describe new raw cards
as Near Mint. Near Mint /
Mint (NMMT) 8: A card that looks mint, but upon examination with strong magnification
and bright light, very small defects can be detected usually on edges and
corners. This is another grade common to new cards right out of the package
and professionally graded. Grades higher than Near Mint / Mint are rare. The
main reason a new card is not mint is that the cutting blades leave marks on
the edges and corners. To consistently get mint cards the blades would have
to be sharpened often and the surface of the blades polished to avoid any
blade marks. Mint (MT) 9: Mint
basically means very nearly prefect in every regard. Gem Mint or Perfect (GEM) 10: A mint card with extra
appeal. This usually means a brighter than usual surface. Some graders give in between grades like NM+ to
indicate these are cards at the higher end of the grade. |
