What do the TCG conditions mean?
We use the industry standard card conditioning guidelines! Here's the basics on how that works:
- Near Mint (NM) is a card with minimal handling or play wear.
- Lightly Played (LP) shows signs of handling or play, but does not display significant imperfections.
- Moderately Played (MP) shows significant play, use or wear.
- Heavily Played (HP) shows significant wear and imperfections.
- Damaged (DMG) cards show wear or imperfections beyond the standards for other conditions.

Can I do a trade online?
Unfortunatly we can't do trades online, through the mail, on the phone, etc.
We can only do trades in-store because we operate as a pawn shop. We need a goverment issued photo ID, and you have to be 18. Doing this online complicates the process.
