Card guide
Condition, grades, language differences, shipping and returns.
Condition scale
We grade singles on five levels. The price ratio is approximate, relative to the same card in NM.
| Grade | Name | What it means | Of NM price |
|---|---|---|---|
| NM | Near Mint | Fresh from the pack; at most a few tiny white specks. | 100% |
| LP | Lightly Played | Light wear on corners and edges, no surface scratches. | 80–90% |
| MP | Moderately Played | Visible edge wear and light scratches; no creases. | 60–70% |
| HP | Heavily Played | Heavy wear, may have a small crease or stain. | 40–50% |
| DMG | Damaged | Creases, tears, water damage or writing. | 20–30% |
PSA, BGS and CGC grades
| Grade | Label | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PSA 10 | Gem Mint | Four sharp corners, front centering within 55/45. |
| PSA 9 | Mint | One minor flaw such as slight off-centering or a white speck. |
| BGS 9.5 | Gem Mint | Average of four subgrades shown on the label. |
| BGS 10 | Black Label | All four subgrades are 10. Very rare and priced separately. |
| CGC 10 | Pristine | CGC's top grade, above its Gem Mint 10. |
You can verify the cert number on the grading company's site. Every slab's number is on its product page.
Japanese or English?
Japanese Pokémon packs usually hold 5 cards, English packs 10. Japanese prints tend to have cleaner cuts and centering; boxes cost less but single prices vary by language. Every product shows its language with a flag.
