Hello and welcome to TonicMod's Store! if you have any questions regarding a product or potential products in the future, please send me a message. Don't buy without reading the notes down below!
All items for sale are in hand in the UK and will not incur any additional import or customs fees.
Our cards are pre-graded by reputable card stores in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan to determine their condition. They are graded by people who have extensive experience in the Japanese TCG market.
The reason we use the grades from them is to ensure impartiality. I don't grade them. The grades given by our supplier are NOT a reflection of what PSA/BGS/CGC or any other grading company may grade them as. Grade A doesn't mean you'll get a PSA 10.
All card orders above £20 in value are shipped in bubble mailers. Card orders under £20 will be shipped in a cardboard 'do not bend' envelope. The cards are placed into new penny sleeves, and then into top-loaders. The top-loaders are then placed into teambags for additional protection. Protecting your cards is a top priority, and we pay for maximum protection to ensure your cards are delivered in the same condition that they leave us.
What does our grading scale mean?
Grade S
It is an unopened product.
- Even if there is some damage to the exterior such as the outer box or package, or if the film (shrink) is torn, the product may be ranked S if it is unopened
- Example: Japanese Promo Cards which are sealed.
Grade A
There are very small scratches and chips that are un-noticeable unless scrutinized closely, but the product is in good condition overall. It's in great condition for both collection and play purposes. Some cards in this category may be absolutely flawless, some cards will have very very small imperfections.
- For scratches that are thought to be manufacturing/factory scratches, it will be ranked A. For example, small imperfections with print lines.
- For old or vintage-era cards, even if there are scratches that are normally worth rank B, they may be ranked A.
Grade B
It is a card with slight scratches, dirt, chips, curls, dents, creases, etc. Although it isn't recommended for grading purposes, it can be used for play or collection in a binder without any problem.
Grade C
It is a card with more noticeable scratches, chips, curls, dents, creases, etc. than rank B, and a feeling of use and deterioration over time. Not recommended for serious collectors who want flawless cards.
