My Condition Guidelines
Mint: Almost perfect card only very slight imperfections visible (I use this grade for PSA graded cards only. NM cards may also be Mint).
Near Mint (NM): May have light scuffs or scratch, and/or light edge wear but still in close to pack fresh condition.
Light Play (LP): Edge wear and/or possibly scratches becoming more prominent. A small crease may exist.
Played/Damaged (PL/DMG): Evidence of being played/other damage, creases/bends may exist, a higher amount of edge wear and scratches. Not for a collector.
