Grading Guide

We use our own grading guide to evaluate the quality of cards, considering the card as a whole, rather than focusing on specific aspects. Our grading system ranges from Near Mint (NM) to Played (PL), and we assess each card individually to ensure a fair and accurate evaluation. Our grading system is the core of our evaluation process and is used as the basis for every assessment.

    Neat Mint (NM) - Highest Grade

    • Cards showing little to no signs of wear, and only under close inspection. That includes minor surface scratches, slight edge, or corner wear, off centered, minimal printing errors, minor foil curling or clouding. This is our highest grade

    Lightly Played (LP) - 2nd Highest Grade

    • Cards with minor wear. Examples include whitening around the edges and border, light surface scratches or idents. Foil cards may have normal curling and/or clouding.

    Played (PL) - Lowest Grade

    • Cards of this grade have noticeable signs of wear from being played and/or handled. All cards in this quality will meet tournament playable restrictions.
