Singles Condition Guide

Pokémon Singles

The following condition guideline applies for both Holofoil & Non-Holofoil cards.

Near Mint - NM

Cards in Near Mint condition show minimal to no wear from shuffling, play or handling and can have a nearly unmarked surface, crisp corners and unblemished edges outside of a few minimal flaws. A Near Mint card may have a tiny edge nick or a tiny scratch or two.

Note that Holofoil cards can be slightly warped due to materials of the cards.

Lightly Played - LP

Cards in Lightly Played (LP) condition may have minor border, surface or corner wear or even just slight scuffs or scratches. There are no major defects noticeable on the cards.

Moderately Played - MP

Cards in Moderately Played (MP) condition can have border wear, corner wear, scratching or scuffing, creases/dents or whitening or any combination of mild examples of these marks. Creasing and/or dents must be very minor, and not in combination with any other defects listed.

Heavily Played - HP

Cards in Heavily Played (HP) condition show a severe amount of wear, and can have border wear, corner wear, scratching or scuffing, creases/dents or whitening or any combination of mild examples of these marks, in high quantity.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the quality control in Pokémon, Centering of the raw card does not affect the condition. Assume that the card we sell is not a GEM MINT.
