CARDS AND STICKERS CONDITION GUIDE
General information
Condition guide
MINT/NEAR MINT
EXCELLENT
This condition corresponds to a card or sticker that is in a slightly lower condition than the previous one.
An Excellent item shows no major pecks, bends, damaged edges, scratches, dirt, or similar.
This condition is typical of those items that have slight marks or defects, whether from the factory or due to use or handling, but are in good general condition, maintaining their collector's value practically intact.
GOOD
Bends or any type of breakage are not allowed in this category.
PLAYED
This condition corresponds to a card or card that is in a state of obvious deterioration.
It may show damage of the same characteristics, but greater severity than a card or card in Good condition, and in this case it may include bends or small breaks that do not cause the item to lose its entire value.
This condition is often associated with intensive use without covers, storage in poor conditions or the use of rubber bands that damage the edges.
This category includes, among others, cardboard cards detached from their original album regardless of the front condition of the card, even if their quality is apparently superior.
POOR
A Poor card or card is anything that is in a state of almost total loss of value, both for collecting and for any other use.
They are all those items that worsen one's poor condition, and show even greater wear or damage.
It is recommended not to publish items in this condition unless justified by their extreme rarity, great value despite poor condition, or historical interest.
This category includes, among others, sticker cards recovered from the album and re-pasted on their own original back and stickers removed from the album slot window, with or without the fragment previously removed.
SEALED
A Sealed Product is one that is sold in factory-new condition, with its original packaging or seals, with no signs of tampering or repackaging. These products are sealed by the manufacturer and subsequently distributed, and they no longer have such a condition when they are opened.
Se incluyen en esta categoría:
- Booster boxes
- Booster packs
- Any other sealed or brand new product.
If the brand new wrapping remains but the condition is not perfect, it's mandatory to mention that circumstance in the product comments field.
