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.

The four rows carry the TCGplayer words with the short code under each one. 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

Raw or graded is the row under Condition. Pick one. A graded card also asks for the grade, such as PSA 9.

A raw card is priced from the market for loose cards. A graded card is priced only from sales of the same slab at the same grade.

Those sales are rare, so most slabs get no price and you set one. Get this wrong and the price comes from the wrong market.
