Grading Baseball Cards

MT (Mint):  A card in MINT condition is in perfect condition. This usually means the card is still in the original package (unopened packs).  If a card has been handled, it is most likely rated as NrMT (Near Mint).

NrMT (Near Mint):  The card may have one "micro defect".

  • A "Micro Defect" would be fuzzy corners, slight off-centering or loss of gloss, minor printing defects such as lines, spots or being out of focus.

EX-MT (Excellent-Mint): The card may have two or more "micro defects". The value is usually about 65 -80% of the Near Mint value.

EX (Excellent): -The card has minor defects and would be valued at approximately 50% to 65% of the Near Mint value.

  • A "Minor Defect" would be slight rounding or corner wear, off-centering, a light crease on the back, wax or gum stains on reverse, loss of original gloss, writing or band or tape marks on the back.

VG (Very Good):  Card may have one "major defect" and would be valued at approximately 30% of the Near Mint value.

G (Good):  Card may have two or more "major defects" and would be valued at approximately 10% of the Near Mint value.

  • A "Major Defect" is considered to be rounded corners, creases or bends, being off-centered, deceptive trimming or retouched borders, holes from pins or staples, writing or tape marks on front, stains, fading or warping.

F (Fair):  Card may have one "catastrophic defect".  Hard to say what the value would be.  Hopefully you'll find a buyer.

  • A "Catastrophic Defect":  Uh-oh - this is the worst type of defect and includes badly rounded corners, miscuts, creases, trimming, tack holes, tears, etc.

  • "Defaced Card":  Any type of pen or tape marks.  An autograph on a card means it is "defaced".  To sell the card, you will need to find a buyer who collects autographed cards.  Sometimes you can get a good price for an autographed card, so it's up to you if you want to "deface" your card.
