This guide explains the condition terms we use when describing individual trading cards sold by CardboardCrack.

Effectively perfect, with no visible signs of wear.

Near Mint (NM)
Minimal wear with sharp corners and a clean surface. Suitable for collectors.

Lightly Played (LP)
Minor edge, corner, or surface wear that does not significantly affect the card's appearance.

Moderately Played (MP)
Noticeable wear, including whitening, scratches, or other cosmetic imperfections.

Heavily Played (HP)
Significant wear, including heavy edge wear, creases, scratches, or other visible damage.

Professional Grading

Professionally graded cards (such as those graded by PSA, BGS, or CGC) are sold in their original sealed protective case with the grade assigned by the grading company.

Card Photos

Where a single card is one of a kind, we aim to display photographs of the actual card you will receive. If you would like additional images or close-up photos before purchasing, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.
