When buying or selling trading cards, condition is very important. Below is our guide to help you understand how we grade cards:

Near Mint (NM)

• Cards in excellent shape.

• May show very slight wear visible only under close inspection (such as a tiny edge nick or faint surface mark).

• No major scratches, bends, or whitening.
  

• Looks almost like it just came out of the pack.

• Cards can range from Mint to close to Mint

Lightly Played (LP)

• Card has minor wear that is noticeable but not distracting.

• May include light edge whitening, small surface scratches, or minor corner wear.

• No bends, creases, or major damage.
  

Moderately Played (MP)

• Shows moderate wear from play or handling.

• Whitening on edges, multiple surface scratches, or some fading may be present.

• May include slight scuffs or light shuffle creases (but nothing severe).

• Card is intact.

Heavily Played (HP)

• Significant wear and tear.

• Noticeable edge wear, scratches, scuffing, and whitening.

• May include heavy shuffle creases, discoloration, or fading.

• Still playable, but condition is well-worn.

Damaged (DMG)

• Cards with severe damage.

• May include bends, tears, water damage, ink marks, peeling, or missing layers.
  

• Mostly for placeholders, binder copies, casual play, or collectors looking for budget copies.

Final Notes

• All cards are graded carefully to the best of our ability.

• Please keep in mind that condition can be subjective, but we follow widely accepted standards in the trading card community.

• Photos of higher-value cards are available upon request.
