Grading

Comic books

We use the following system below to the best of our ability in order to accurately specify the condition of our comics

While many of our books could be NM+ candidates we cannot guarantee any condition of a comic to be greater than 9.2

Comics $2.00 and under will not be assigned a grade, however some of them will.

Trading Cards

We use the following system below to the best of our ability in order to accurately specify the condition of our Trading Cards

NM/Near Mint

Cards in Near Mint (NM) condition show minimal wear from shuffling, play or handling and can have a nearly unmarked surface, crisp corners and unblemished edges outside of a few flaws. A Near Mint card may have slight edge wear or a scratch or three, but overall look nearly un-played with no major defects.

The acceptable range of cards within the Near Mint condition includes both cards with no imperfections and cards with a few slight imperfections.

LP/Lightly Played

Cards in Lightly Played (LP) condition may have minor border or corner wear, scuffs or scratches. There are no major defects such as grime, bends, or issues with the structural integrity of the card. Noticeable imperfects are okay, but none should be too severe or at too high a volume.

The acceptable range of cards within the Lightly Played condition includes both cards with few or a handful of minor imperfections.

MP/Moderately Played

Cards in Moderately Played (MP) condition can have border wear, corner wear, scratching or scuffing, creases or whitening or any combination of moderate examples of these flaws.

A Moderately Played card may have some form of imperfection impacting a small area of the card from mishandling or poor storage, such as creasing that doesn't affect card integrity, in combination with other issues such as scratches, scuffs or border/edge wear.

HP/Heavily Played

Cards in Heavily Played (HP) condition show a major amount of wear. Cards can show a variety of moderate imperfections along with creasing, whitening and bends. Heavily Played cards can also have flaws that impact the integrity of the card, but the card can still be sleeve playable.

Damaged

Damaged cards show wear or imperfections beyond the standards for other conditions. Cards in Damaged condition can also exhibit an imperfection that may make the card illegal for tournament play, even in a sleeve. Cards in Damaged condition may have major border wear, corner wear, scratching or scuffing, as well as folds, creases, tears or other damage that impacts the structural integrity of the card.
