Grading Guide
EXExcellentPerfect cards, may have a minute amount of damage.
VGVery GoodNice cards, will have a factor that stops the card being EX. This could be a small mark or minor corner rounding (1 or 2 corners only).
GGoodWill have more significant bad points. This could be a mark, or corner rounding (significant to 1 corner, or minor to all 4 corners), or there may be a bend (not a crease). The card could probably be slightly grubby.
FFairThese cards will have worse corner rounding, or a crease, or a bad mark, or be grubby.
PPoorSignificant damage, only cards of value sold in this condition.
