How We Evaluate Condition

We look at visible imperfections and the card’s structural integrity.
Imperfections include:

• Edgewear — whitening, chipping, worn edges

• Surface wear — scratches, scuffs, loss of gloss

• Corner wear — rounding, softness, whitening

• Bends & warping — bends, small creases, curve from humidity

• Indentations — small dents or impressions

• Creases — shallow or deep, affecting structure

• Stains / dirt / grime — smudges, residue, discoloration

• Foil defects — scratches, micro-lines, peeling, bubbling

• Structural damage — tears, splits, peeling layers, missing material

• Manufacturing defects — miscuts, print dots, ink issues (case-by-case)

We grade the severity, frequency, and impact of these imperfections to determine the card’s final condition.

Condition Tiers

Below are the official XPcollect condition descriptions, aligned with hobby standards.

---

Definition:
Cards with almost no visible wear. They appear close to pack-fresh.

• A few tiny scratches or micro-scuffs

• No clouding or major surface issues

Not acceptable in NM:

Definition:
Cards with obvious, noticeable wear but still structurally intact.

Acceptable imperfections:

• Multiple scratches

• Clear edgewear or corner wear

• Small or moderate bends (that do not break fibers)

• Minor creasing that does not compromise structure

• Visible whitening on multiple edges

Not acceptable in MP:

Definition:
Cards showing significant wear and multiple imperfections.

Acceptable imperfections:

• Major surface wear

• Heavy whitening on edges and corners

• Water damage

• Major staining or foreign substances

XPcollect Notes:
HP cards may still be bought but receive a much lower valuation.

---

5. Damaged (DMG)

Definition:
Cards with severe wear or structural issues that affect usability or integrity.

Qualifying problems:

• Deep or multiple creases

• Tears

• Splits

• Holes or punctures

• Water damage or warping beyond normal play wear

• Peeling laminate or foil

• Significant staining, ink, or foreign substances

• Heavy bending compromising structure

XPcollect Notes:
Damaged cards may still be accepted in bulk submissions, but payouts are significantly lower or may be declined depending on severity.

---

Additional Notes for Pokémon TCG Sellers

Because Pokémon-specific printing and foiling vary, here are clarifications:

Foil cards:

Foils show defects more easily. Light scratches still qualify as LP, but deeper scratches drop the card into MP or HP.

Warping from humidity:

Minor cupping is common in foils and does not automatically lower grade unless severe.

Vintage cards:

Older holo cards often have surface scratches from early-era sleeves. We grade these consistently with modern standards.

Manufacturing defects:

• Miscuts, print dots, or mild off-centering do not automatically lower condition

• Major defects that affect integrity (foil peeling, ink smears, laminate splits) push to Damaged

---
