Grading Standards

02/03/2021

Hello,

Many potential buyers ask me for pictures of the back. Which is a good thing to ask. Unfortunately with having so many cards, it makes it a bit difficult to keep up with so many, besides also picking out auctions, taking pictures, making listings, etc. Tend to be quite the time consumers. But, I have made a list along with pictures of back examples, to show how these cards would potentially look upon a purchase.

Feel free to also browse around the website if you please. I am a rapper/singer trying to spread a message :).

But moving on to the juice of it all... here comes the visuals.

GEM MINT (PSA 10)

The card is graded by (Professional Sports Authenticator and is certified as original copy). Nearly perfect, with great centering and minimal to no scratches and/or edge wear.

MINT (PSA 9)

The card is graded by (Professional Sports Authenticator and is certified as original copy). Not as perfect, with good centering and one to three scratches and/or edge wear.

Raw Cards:

Excellent (EX): The card shows around four to six imperfections. Including, scratches on back/holo, more edge wear. I consider these PSA 6 roughly if graded.

Very Good (VG): The card is more visibly worn Including, scratches on back/holo, more edge wear. Considered a binder card. I consider these PSA ⅘ if graded.

Good (G/GD): The card shows imperfections. Including, scratches on back/holo, more edge wear, dents, etc.

Played (PL): The card shows more noticeable imperfections. Including, scratches on back/holo, more edge wear, dents, creases.

Heavy Play (HP): The card shows obvious imperfections. Including, scratches on back/holo, more edge wear, dents, creases, bends, warping, etc. Most of these I sell as lots, so it makes it easier to sell as sets.

Damaged (DMG): The card shows clear imperfections. Including, scratches on back/holo, more edge wear, dents, creases, bends, warping, ripping, water-wear, etc. The card is clearly missing some part. These are also sold as sets.

Thanks for reading and hope this helps you guys decide if you will give in and be tempted buy the card :^P.

Have a blessed day!
