Card States

All our single cards are individually described. The image shown on the product page is the official visual of the card (reference scan): it serves to identify the card, but does not show the exact copy you will receive. The actual condition of the sold copy is indicated on each product page, according to the scale below.

This scale uses the standards applied by collectors and the Cardmarket marketplace, benchmarks in the French market.

Condition Scale

• MT — Mint: perfect card, without any flaws, as it came out of the booster.
• NM — Near Mint: almost perfect card. Tiny flaws only visible upon close inspection (micro-mark on an edge or corner). This is the condition of the vast majority of our cards.
• EX — Excellent: slight wear marks visible up close (minor edge whitening, fine surface scratch). Healthy and well-presentable card.
• GD — Good: clear and visible wear. Marked edges or corners, surface may have scratches or slight whitening.
• LP — Light Played: significant wear but complete and playable card. Clearly visible marks on several areas.
• PL — Played: heavy general wear. Blunted corners, marked surface, possible light creases.
• PO — Poor: very damaged card (pronounced creases, tears, stains). Sold as is, at a reduced price.

A "+" sign may be added to a condition to indicate a copy that is at the high end of its category (example: EX+ for a card between Excellent and Near Mint).

Actual Photos

For valuable cards, a photo of the actual copy is added to the product page. For any card, you can ask us for an actual photo before purchase via our contact page.

Graded Cards (Slabs)

Graded cards sealed in a slab do not follow this scale. They are evaluated by an independent grading organization (CCC, PCA, CA...) according to its own numerical scale, with a grade and certification number indicated on the product page.
