Condition Guide

NM (Near Mint)

Near Mint condition cards can show minimal wear from play or handling and will have an unmarked surface, crisp corners, and otherwise pristine edges outside of minimal handling.

It is possible that Brand New have minor imperfections when coming straight out of boosters.
