We use the standard TCG condition scale. Every card is inspected under direct light and graded before listing. Here's what each grade means:
Crisp, clean, no visible wear. May have a minor factory imperfection visible only on close inspection. The standard for fresh pulls.
Minor wear on edges or corners, light surface scuffing, or slight whitening. Still sharp and presentable. No major defects.
Visible edge wear, corner rounding, surface scratches, or moderate whitening. Clearly played but structurally sound.
Significant wear: heavy edge whitening, creases, bends, or surface damage. Card is complete and playable but shows its history.
Major defects: heavy creasing, liquid damage, tears, or ink marks. Sold as-is, usually for gameplay only.
Graded Cards
Professionally graded cards (PSA, BGS, CGC) carry the grade on the slab — that grade is final and supersedes our raw condition assessment. We list the grader and grade in the product title.
