UNGRADED CARDS/PRODUCTS
The condition of ungraded cards is based on (but not limited to) the official TCG Card Conditioning Standards.
Download the one-page handout that I have assembled from the latest condition guide reference on the CardTrader website.
Print errors and centering are not considered to impact the card’s integrity and are not factors when determining condition.
Over 90% of ungraded cards are collector-owned, never played and in near mint condition or better. The following conditions meet the acceptable standard of sale for single cards:
- Mint (MT) – no signs of wear; super clean surface, directly from pack to a penny sleeve.
- Near Mint (NM) – minor imperfections, card looks nearly unplayed with no major defects or wear; may have slight edge wear or a scratch or three, but overall looks unplayed with no major defects.
- Lightly Played (LP) – a few minor and noticeable imperfections but no major defects or damage; major defects such as grime, bends or issues with the structural integrity of the card are not present.
- Moderately Played (MP) – border/corner wear, scratching, scuffing, creases, visible whitening on surface.
- Heavily Played (MP) – variety of moderate and major imperfections along with creasing, whitening and bends.
- Damanged/Poor (DMG) – major border wear, corner wear, scratching or scuffing, as well as folds, creases, tears or other damage that impacts the structural integrity of the card.
All products are inspected to make sure its contents (ie. packs themselves) have not been damaged and that the issues with the sealed product are purely cosmetic. Some sealed products may present imperfections such as (but not limited to):
- Small hole(s) in the shrink wrap that are not along the seams
- Partially torn wrap, but with shrink wrap still in tact
- Dents/creasing on the box; slight signs of shelf wear
There is no guarantee that the sealed product you receive will be free of all cosmetic imperfections. Please be sure to read the product description for details and/or photos showing the condition of the item.
I purchase/obtain all sealed products from licensed retailers (Pokémon Center, Target, GameStop) and/or from reputable sellers/collectors that I have personally ordered from or traded with.
Collector Platforms
Card prices are determined by current market values and listings calculated by the following industry leaders of collector platforms: Price Charting, TCG Player and/or Collectr. Prices are updated weekly.
Condition is also a major factor in pricing, which is why prices may be higher than the market value. More on Grading and Conditioning below.
Graded cards are only graded by AGS, PSA or CGC. All graded cards have their grade certification information listed on their product page, which looks like this:
- Grade: AGS 9 MINT links to the grade certification page
This links to the card’s official certification page on the grading company website.
