Single Card Condition Guide

Although we cannot guarantee GEM Mint condition for the purposes of Grading or other professional appraisal services. We consider the quality of our single card collections to be as such however, due to the subjective nature of card conditioning we will only state up to:

Mint (MT) 

You can review our condition guide which is based on the considerations and professional guidance stated by PSA.

SHOP SINGLE CARDS

GEM Mint

A GEM Mint card is a virtually perfect card.

Attributes include four perfectly sharp corners, sharp focus and full original gloss.

The card must be free of staining of any kind, but an allowance may be made for a slight printing imperfection, if it doesn't impair the overall appeal of the card.

The image must be centered on the card within a tolerance not to exceed approximately 55/45 to 60/40 percent on the front, and 75/25 percent on the reverse.

Condition Guidance - PSA

Mint

Mint is considered a superb condition card that exhibits only one of the following minor flaws: a very slight wax stain on reverse, a minor printing imperfection or slightly off-white borders.

Centering must be approximately 60/40 to 65/35 or better on the front and 90/10 or better on the reverse.
