Condition and whether a card is graded

A market price is a Near Mint price, so anything more worn cuts the price of the card.

Every card starts at Near Mint, because a market price is a Near Mint price.

Changing the condition

Set it on the card, or on a lot of cards at once from the table. Drop the condition and the price drops with it, on the spot.

When TCGplayer has a price for your printing in that condition, we use it. Otherwise Lightly Played is 80% of the Near Mint price, Moderately Played is 65% and Heavily Played is 50%.

The Condition menu carries the TCGplayer words. They are Near Mint (NM), Lightly Played (LP), Moderately Played (MP) and Heavily Played (HP).

Every card holds one of the four, so there is nothing to clear here. A new card starts on the batch's condition.

The condition also ends the listing title, as NM, LP, MP or HP.

Be honest here. A condition that flatters the card is the one that gets a return.

Two different markets

A batch of slabs adds a Graded row to the Details section. Pick Raw or Graded there. A graded card also asks for the grade, such as PSA 9, and for the cert number off the label.

Every card in any other batch is raw, even when the scan shows a slab. Keep slabs in a batch of their own.

We read the cert number off your scan, so check it against the slab and type over it when it is wrong. It goes to eBay in the title and in the item specifics.

A raw card is priced from the market for loose cards. We give a graded card no price at all.

So a slab needs a price from you. Mark a raw card graded by mistake and it gets no price either.
