This listing is for one Pokemon Shelgon 42/97 Uncommon EX Dragon Card.

By my grading scale, which only accounts for post factory flaws, so not centering, holo bleed or print lines, I believe the card to be a solid NM. Not to be confused with Mint. The only flaws i see are the very light edge wear and the very very light scratches pictured. No bends, dents, creases or peels. By ebays i think its their lightly played. It does have those spots on the top back where I think there wasn't enough ink on them when it was printed. But if I'm right this is a manufacturing defect and not post factory damage.

PLEASE SEE PICTURES FOR DETAILS.

Ebay's grading scale is shown below. The only difference between ours and theirs is we do not bump a card down all the way to moderately played if its only flaw is light scratches. A card like that, we consider it NM. If you add a light scratch to a PSA 10 card for example, its a 9, not a 6. But thats what ebay is describing according to their new scale.

To be safe and to protect myself from overly picky buyers, I round down. There’s never a guarantee on what any card will grade regardless of actual condition, which is why some people will send their 9’s back until they get 10’s.

I am not a professional grader.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

Ebay doesn't allow sellers to not sell internationally.

We will ship using Ebay's international shipping option that ships from it's hub. However, I hear about many complaints about their handling of packages so I highly advise you not to buy if you are international because of this.
