Pristine
A virtually flawless card. Centering is perfect (50/50 on both the front and back), with sharp, untouched corners, razor-sharp edges, and a flawless surface. No print lines, scratches, or handling wear are present. Under 10x magnification, no imperfections can be found. This is the highest possible grade.
10
Gem Mint
A near-perfect card with tiny, nearly invisible imperfections. Centering must be 55/45 or better. There may be a very slight touch of wear to one corner, or a minor flaw like a barely visible print line or surface spec. Overall, the card still appears flawless to the naked eye.
9
Mint
A high-quality card with minor imperfections. Centering may be slightly off (60/40 or better), with very slight corner wear or tiny edge chipping. There might be a faint surface scratch or print line visible under close inspection, but the card remains visually sharp.
8
Near Mint/Mint
A high-quality card with minor imperfections. Centering may be slightly off (60/40 or better), with very slight corner wear or tiny edge chipping. There might be a faint surface scratch or print line visible under close inspection, but the card remains visually sharp.

Near Mint
​A well-maintained card with clear signs of wear. Centering may be off up to 70/30. The card may have rounded corners, moderate surface wear, or slight creases. While still visually appealing, its flaws are noticeable upon closer examination.

Very Good
A heavily played card with visible signs of wear. Centering may be as poor as 85/15. Corners are rounded, edges show chipping, and there may be surface scratches or minor creases. The card is still intact but shows its age and use.

Good

Fair
A card with substantial damage, such as heavy creasing, edge wear, and significant surface flaws. Centering is very poor, possibly 95/5. There may be small tears, stains, or heavy discoloration, but the card remains mostly intact.
2
Poor
A very damaged card with multiple severe flaws. There may be large creases, tears, stains, or major corner wear. The card has lost much of its original structure and visual appeal but is still identifiable.
