Our grading scale

On every product page you can pick the exact condition you want — each has its own price and stock.

NM

Near Mint

Pack-fresh, minimal to no wear.

Looks like it was just pulled from a pack. May have the tiniest factory or handling imperfection visible only on close inspection. Sharp corners, clean edges, a flawless surface and no whitening.

LP

Lightly Played

Minor wear, still great shape.

Light scuffing, minor edge wear or very slight corner wear visible on inspection. No major scratches or creases. Looks great sleeved and is fully tournament-legal.

MP

Moderately Played

Moderate, even wear.

Moderate border or corner whitening, light scratching, light scuffing or a small inked area. No creases that break the card. Plays great in sleeves.

HP

Heavily Played

Significant wear, fully playable sleeved.

Major whitening, heavier scratching or scuffing, creasing, or minor water damage. The card is intact and tournament-legal in opaque sleeves — priced to reflect the wear.

DMG

Damaged

Heavy damage — priced accordingly.

Severe creasing, water damage, tearing, writing, or other major flaws. Priced low to reflect condition — great for budget decks, cubes and filler copies.
