Grading Scale

A virtually perfect card. Exceptional centering, four sharp corners, clean edges, and a flawless surface. The highest grade awarded.

An exceptional card just short of perfection. Virtually flawless centering, razor-sharp corners, and a pristine surface with the most minor of imperfections.

A nearly perfect card with only the slightest imperfection. Excellent centering, sharp corners, clean edges, and a near-flawless surface.

A high-quality card with minimal wear. Corners are sharp with only the faintest touch of wear, edges are clean, and the surface shows very light marks at most.

A card with minor imperfections. Slight wear on one or two corners, minor edge nicks, or very light surface marks. Still a high-quality card.

A card showing light wear on corners, edges, or surface. No creases. Centering may be slightly off. An above-average card overall.

A card with some wear on corners and edges. Minor surface marks or print defects. Centering may be noticeably off but still presentable.

A card showing obvious wear on corners, edges, and surface. No creases. Centering may be significantly off. A solid mid-grade card.

A card with heavy wear on corners and edges. Light creases or surface marks may be present. Centering is often noticeably off.

A card with significant wear throughout. Rounded corners, noticeable edge wear, and surface marks. Light creases may be present.

A heavily worn card. Rounded corners, heavy edge wear, creases, and surface damage. The card is still intact and identifiable.

A card with severe wear, heavy creases, staining, or other major damage. The card is complete but in very poor condition.
