When listing used trading cards, the sellers are required to select "Item Condition” based on the condition of the item.
Please check the following guidelines regarding the condition of the item.
※The contents of this page, including the picture showing the condition of the items, are to be intended only as an example. These standards may vary depending on degree, extent, and the item itself.
Please note that during inspection and authentication, if there is a discrepancy between the option the seller selected and the actual condition of the item, or if the required images are missing, the transaction may be canceled after checking with the buyer to see if they are willing to continue the transaction.
We ask for the seller’s cooperation in selecting the appropriate condition and uploading the required images.
※The color of the images on the product page may appear slightly different from the actual product depending on factors such as the photographed conditions and so on.
※Please refer to the "Guidelines for listing items for sale" to confirm which areas are required to be shown when taking pictures of an item.

【A (Mint condition - brand new, no damages)】
Items that can be listed in the "A(Mint condition - brand new, no damages)" category are limited to items that have been stored for collection purposes and are still in the same condition as they were immediately after being opened ("fresh out of the pack").
Very minor chipping, horizontal/vertical lines, holo misalignment and minor cut marks that may occur during the manufacturing and distribution process are considered to be examples of an item’s initial manufacturing defects.
Items whose condition is comparable to the examples shown below are considered to meet the guideline standards for "A(Mint condition - brand new, no damages)” and therefore may be listed under this category.
※Even if an item is in a condition that can be assessed as its initial manufacturing defects, if the existing defects are very prominent or are found in several areas, the item will need to be listed in the "B(Minor scratches or scuffs)” category by the seller.
