Card Conditions

Near Mint

Cards in Near Mint conditions show minimal wear of handling and can have a nearly unmarked surface, crisp corners and unblemished edges outside of a few slight flaws.
A Near Mint card may have slight edge wear or a scratch or three, but overall looks nearly unplayed with no major defects.

Cards in Slightly Played (SP) conditions may have minor border or corner wear, scuffs or light scratches.
Major defects such as grime, bends or issues with the structural integrity of the card are not present.
Noticeable imperfections are okay, but none should be too severe or at too high a volume.

Cards in Moderately Played (MP) conditions may present border wear, corner wear, scratching or scuffing, creases or whitening or any combination of moderate examples of these flaws.
A Moderately Played card may have some form of imperfection impacting a small area of the card from mishandling or poor storage, such as creasing that doesn't affect card integrity, in combination with other issues such as scratches, scuffs or border/edge wear.

Cards in Played (PL) conditions show a major amount of wear.
Cards can show a variety of moderate and major imperfections along with creasing, whitening and bends.
Played cards can have flaws that impact the integrity of the card, but the card is still sleeve playable in tournaments.

Poor cards (PO) show wear or imperfections beyond the standards for other conditions.
Cards in Poor condition can also exhibit imperfections or damage that may make the card illegal for tournament play, even in a sleeve, for example a major bend, noticeable through the plastic.
Cards in Poor condition may have 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.

Off-center cards result from misaligned printing, leading to uneven borders. While these cards may lack visual balance, they are not considered damaged and generally do not affect the card's overall condition or value.
Print lines appear where consecutive print sheets meet. These lines are minor printing imperfections and do not constitute damage, thus having little to no impact on the card's condition or value.
