We use the regular tiers: M, NM, EX, GD, LP, PL, PO. Short, human-readable definitions below.
Mint (M): Pack-fresh. No wear, no marks..
Near Mint (NM): Almost perfect. Tiny edge dot or hairline scuff possible. No creases/clouding.
Excellent (EX): Light play. A few small edge/corner nicks or faint surface marks; still clean.
Good (GD): Noticeable play. Whitening on edges/corners or light scratches. Sleeve-playable.
Light Played (LP): Clear wear and minor faults (small dents/indents, light shuffle crease). Still fine for casual play.
Played (PL): Heavy wear and multiple faults (creases, strong whitening, warping) but card is intact/identifiable.
Poor (PO): Major damage or alterations (tears, inked/blackened borders, trimming, severe water damage/warping).
We're built specifically for the Swiss TCG community. This means no more dealing with international shipping delays, unpredictable customs fees, or the risk of scams. We offer a more efficient, trusted, and localized experience with faster deliveries and lower overall costs.
Always show front + back; add close-ups for defects.
Call out: scratches, creases, indents, edge/corner wear, stains, clouding, warping, signatures, stamps, alterations.
We don’t grade older cards more leniently than newer ones.
Altered/inked borders: graded PO.
Signatures: marked “Signed” only if it’s the original artist or a clearly relevant figure.
Tournament legality: if warping/markings risk sleeve legality, expect PL (or PO if severe).
