Grading Sports Cards

These are the grading standards that we use and follow!

  • Cards listed as NM-MT will have at minimum 4 sharp corners, great color and gloss. Many, especially newer will be closer to Mint.
  • Cards listed as NM+++ are as close to NM-MT as you can get, but have one MINOR flaw keeping the card from NM-MT.
  • Cards listed as NM++ will have at minimum 3 sharp corners, with ONE having a slight peach fuzz.
  • Cards listed as NM+ will have 2-3 sharp corners, others having a a little more peach fuzz.
  • Cards listed as NM will have at minimum 4 solid to sharp corners.
  • Cards listed as EX will have corners with structure, not rounded. Most will be Ex/Mt.
  • Cards listed as VG/EX will have corners starting to round.

Creases and major defects if present are mentioned in the description or title of the item for sale or bid.

All cards from 1980 and earlier are the actual cards shown in the scans. If you have any questions please contact me at drewjr21@yahoo.com
