Every raw single we sell is assessed by hand against the scale below, and the condition is stated clearly on the listing. If a card ever arrives not as described, we'll make it right — replacement, refund or credit.
Our grading scale for raw cards
Near Mint (NM)
Looks fresh from the pack. No visible wear at a glance; at most a tiny print line or minor edge white spot visible under close inspection.
Lightly Played (LP)
Minor edge or corner wear, light scratching or slight whitening — visible on close inspection but clean at arm's length. Sleeve-playable and collectable.
Moderately Played (MP)
Noticeable wear: edge whitening, surface scratches, or minor creasing. Still presentable, priced accordingly.
Heavily Played (HP)
Heavy wear — creases, significant whitening or scuffing. Priced to reflect it and always photographed.
Graded cards
Slabbed cards (PSA, BGS and others) are sold as the grade stated on the case, with photographs of the actual slab including the certification number.
Sealed product
All sealed product is factory sealed and stored properly. Any shelf wear on outer packaging is noted on the listing.
