Condition Guide

Although we cannot guarantee GEM Mint condition for the purposes of Grading or other professional appraisal services, all our cards have their condition listed in the description.  Always review the images for individual products, as the card photographed is the card in stock. 

Gem Mint (GM)

A Mint card is considered to be in virtually perfect condition. It is the highest possible grade for a card.

Near Mint (NM)

A Near Mint card is a card that shows only minor imperfections, often from handling or very light play, but still retains its overall pristine appearance. It is a highly desirable condition for most collectors.

Lightly Played (LP) / Excellent (EX)

A Lightly Played card shows some noticeable wear from light play or handling, but is still in good collectible condition and perfectly playable. The imperfections are more evident than Near Mint but do not significantly detract from the card's overall integrity or artwork. Some grading companies may refer to this as "Excellent."
