Card Condition

• Sealed: in this category cards are usually in near mint condition but it was preferred to create separate listings for sealed versions since it’s not possible to accurately grade cards through their plastic packaging.
  If you are not really interested in keeping it sealed, it's more convenient to buy the opened near mint counterpart.
  
  
• Mint: only graded cards are listed as mint in OnlyJody shop.
  
  
• Near Mint: cards without visible defects or minor defects on corners and edges.
  Also cards with defects created during the production process, like printlines or bad centering, are usually sold as near mint.
  
  
• Excellent: cards with surface scratches or little dents. No wrinkles or creases.
  
  
• Good: cards with wrinkles, pressure marks or folds on corners/edges.
  
  
• Light Played: cards with a combination of previous defects or a small crease on the surface.
  
  
• Played: cards with a big crease or multiple creases but not completely damaged.
  
  
• Poor: cards with missing parts, water damage or scribbles.

Humidity effect: japanese cards are particularly sensitive to humidity and they can take concave/convex shapes over time. Luckily it does not affect their condition since they return to their normal shape by keeping them inside albums, toploaders or even under books.
