Product conditions

Near Mint condition applies to almost all single cards you buy here, unless the product description says otherwise.

Single cards — Near Mint (NM)

A Near Mint card looks like it has never been played without sleeves.

What that means in practice:

• No visible wear at first glance
• Clean surface under bright daylight
• No scratches
• No bends or creases

Minor allowances:

• A few very small white spots on the edges
• Tiny surface dots that do not affect the overall appearance

A Near Mint card would still be considered unmarked if played in an unsleeved deck (not recommended).

Note: For modern sets, “Near Mint” often means Near Mint or better.

Graded cards

If a card is graded, this is always clearly shown in the product title and description.

Examples:

• PSA 10
• BGS 10

The condition is defined entirely by the grading company, not by the Near Mint standard above.

Booster boxes

All booster boxes are:

• Factory sealed
• Untampered
• Shipped as received from the distributor
• No reseals. No loose packs.

When the condition differs

If a single card is not Near Mint:

• The exact condition is stated clearly on the product page
• You will never need to guess

If you have questions about a specific card, ask before buying. We’ll check it for you.
