At Misprint, our goal is to keep buyer expectations clear and seller listings consistent. Use this guide to determine the proper condition tier when listing raw (ungraded) cards.

Important Note: We do not support a "Mint" condition tier — even pack-fresh cards are considered Near Mint.
Cards that look almost new — very minimal signs of handling.
✅ Collector Expectation: This is the condition most collectors expect for display or resale.
Still clean and presentable, but with clear minor wear from handling or play.
✅ Best For: Ideal for binder collectors or casual players who want a good-looking card with slight flaws.
Clearly used, but still intact and fully playable in sleeves.
✅ Best For: Budget-conscious collectors or players. Visible wear, but no structural issues.
Very worn cards with multiple noticeable flaws, but still authentic and sleeve-playable.
✅ Best For: Not recommended for display collections, but still functional.
Cards with major damage that impacts structure, playability, or authentication.
❗ Important: These cards are not tournament-legal and may not be accepted on Misprint depending on severity. If you think the card is gross, buyers probably would too, and nobody wants that!
