Grading is subjective, but most cards would fall into these categories above. If a card looks clean on a scan but we have labelled HP or DMG, likely there is a crease or dent not showing. We do not label any items as 'Mint' therefore the Near Mint category has all cards from Near Mint and Mint categories. We feel we are strict with our condition estimates so you should never be disappointed with a condition stated.
