Final Grade Ratings
Abbreviations:
MINT = Mint
NRMT = Near Mint
EX = Excellent
VG = Very Good
FAIR = Fair
POOR = Poor
Definitions & % of Value:
MINT = A flawless card in like-new condition and perfectly centered.
Appears fresh out of the pack and holds a premium price value more
then 100%.
NRMT = A card that has up to a couple of minor flaws, but still looks
close to Mint overall. Price Guides usually base prices on NRMT cards so they
are 100% of full value.
EX = A card that has a few minor flaws but is still in excellent
condition overall, considering it's age. Although cards in excellent condition
lose some of their full value they are generally accepted by most collectors. 80%
of full value.
VG = A card that either has a lot of minor flaws or a couple of serious
flaws which hurt it's overall appearance. Some collectors are still interested
in cards in this condition. 50% of full value.
FAIR = A card with some serious flaws which significantly detract from
it's appearance and that most collectors are not interested in. 25% of
full value.
POOR = The worst rating a card can have. A card in poor condition with
little to no value. 0% of full value.
