Condition & Grading Guide

We want you to know exactly what you're getting. Here is how we personally evaluate and grade raw singles.

Near Mint (NM)

Cards in Near Mint condition show minimal to no wear. They may have a tiny scratch or minor whitening on an edge, but generally look fresh out of the pack. Centering is not factored into NM condition.

Lightly Played (LP)

Lightly Played cards show minor wear. This can include slight edge whitening, minor surface scratches, or very small nicks. The card still looks great in a binder.

Moderately Played (MP)

Moderately Played cards show more pronounced wear. This includes moderate edge wear, noticeable surface scratching, or minor creasing. Still perfectly sleeve-playable.

Heavily Played (HP) / Damaged

Heavily Played cards have severe wear. This could be major creasing, water damage, massive whitening, or deep scratches. We rarely sell these online, but they are clearly marked when we do.
