Pack Grading Scale
10
Pristine
A booster pack graded as "10 Pristine" represents absolute perfection. The seal is flawlessly intact, the wrapper is immaculate with no creases, marks, or scuffs, and the pack looks exactly as it did when it left the manufacturer. This grade is reserved for the most discerning collectors and is exceedingly rare.
10
Gem Mint
​A "10" graded booster pack is pristine in every aspect except for the faintest imperfections, such as a barely perceptible crease or handling mark. The seal and wrapper are perfect, maintaining their original quality and presentation. It is virtually indistinguishable from a freshly produced pack.
9
Mint
A "9" graded booster pack is nearly flawless, with only the most subtle indications of handling. The wrapper is smooth and free from significant creases or scuffs, and the seal is perfectly intact. The pack retains its original form and appearance, making it ideal for high-end collections.
8
NM-MT
An "8" graded pack is in exceptional condition with barely noticeable imperfections. The seal is tight and intact, and the wrapper retains its original shape and sheen. Minor handling marks may be present but do not detract from its visual appeal or structural integrity.
7
Near Mint
A booster pack graded as "7" exhibits only minimal signs of wear. The seal is intact, and the wrapper is in good condition with very few imperfections, such as light creases or subtle scuffs. The overall presentation remains excellent, and the pack is highly collectible.
6
Excellent
A "6" graded pack has slight signs of wear, such as minor creasing, light scuffing, or faint discoloration, but the wrapper and seal are otherwise intact. The pack may show evidence of careful handling but retains most of its original appeal, suitable for display or collection.
5
Very Good
A booster pack graded as "5" shows general wear from handling, such as minor creases or dents, but no significant damage. The seal is intact and undisturbed, and the wrapper remains in decent shape with no major blemishes. This grade reflects a pack that has been handled but still maintains a respectable appearance.
4
Good
A grade of "4" indicates a booster pack with noticeable damage, including multiple creases, dents, or slight tears in the wrapper. The seal remains unbroken and functional, though it may show wear or unevenness. The pack may have some discoloration or dirt, but its condition does not detract significantly from its overall presentation.
3
Fair
A booster pack in "3" condition has moderate wear, such as several prominent creases or small tears, though the seal remains fully intact. Signs of handling are evident, including scuffing or minor discoloration, but the pack retains a basic level of structural integrity and can still be identified and stored without further damage.
2
Acceptable
A "2" graded pack exhibits substantial wear and damage, including large creases, visible tears, or weakened seals, though the pack remains closed. The overall appearance is heavily impacted by scuffing, discoloration, and other signs of aging or mishandling. While technically sealed, its condition makes it unfit for display or collection purposes.
1
Poor
A booster pack graded as "1" shows severe and extensive damage. The packaging may have significant tears, large creases, or missing portions, and the seal is no longer intact. There are visible signs of neglect, such as dirt, stains, or discoloration, and the overall structural integrity of the pack is severely compromised.
