MSG Grading Scale

Our trading card grading scale ranges from 1 to 10, with each grade indicating a specific level of quality:

• 10 (Gem Mint): Perfect condition, no flaws.
• 9 (Mint): Almost perfect, with only minor imperfections.
• 8 (Near Mint to Mint): Slightly more noticeable imperfections.
• 7 (Near Mint): Minor wear.
• 6 (Excellent to Mint): More visible wear.
• 5 (Excellent): Noticeable wear.
• 4 (Very Good): Significant wear.
• 3 (Good): Heavy wear.
• 2 (Fair): Major flaws.
• 1 (Poor): Very poor condition.

This scale is widely recognized in the trading card community and helps collectors assess the value and condition of their cards.

We look for corner wear, edge wear, surface wear, front & back centering. 

We also take into account poor player signatures and errors.

We will not grade fake cards and will send the cards back ungraded. 

We currently only grade standard size sports & tcg cards. No patches and no oversized cards.
