CARD CONDITION
HOW WE LOOK AT CARDS
Every raw card has a history. When assessing condition, we look at the card as a whole, including the front, back, surface, edges and corners.
The descriptions below explain the condition terms you may see on ChilcoTCG listings.
A clean card with minimal signs of handling or wear. Very minor imperfections may still be present.
A well-kept card showing minor evidence of handling or play.
A card with clearly visible wear while remaining intact and suitable for a collection or play.
A card showing substantial wear. The card remains identifiable and collectible, but its condition is immediately apparent.
A card with significant defects or structural damage beyond ordinary play wear.
IMPORTANT
Our condition descriptions are intended to describe the physical condition of a raw card. They are not a prediction or guarantee of the grade a card may receive from PSA, CGC, Beckett, ACE or any other grading company.
Grading companies use their own standards and may consider factors beyond general card condition, including centering, printing characteristics and other criteria.
Where individual card photographs are provided, please review them carefully. They form an important part of understanding the card you are buying.
Where we identify a significant defect that may not be obvious from the photographs, we'll aim to make it clear in the listing.
If you'd like more information about a card before ordering, contact us and we'll help where we can.
