Greetings Planeswalkers!
We're here to cover what a Card Condition Guide is, and what to look out for.

So, on to our Card Condition Guide!
First of all, we use four classifications for our Card Condition Guide:
Near-Mint (NM)
Played (PL)
Heavily Played (HP)
Damaged (D)
Each one will have the following characteristics:
Near-Mint (NM)

Near Mint condition cards show minimal or no wear from play or handling and will have an unmarked surface, crisp corners, and otherwise pristine edges outside of minimal handling. Near Mint condition cards appear "fresh out of the pack," with edges and surfaces virtually free from all flaws.
Played (PL)
Played condition cards can have slight border or corner wear, or possibly minor scratches to moderate wear, mild corner wear, scratches, creases of fading, light dirt buildup, or any combination of these defects.
Heavily Played (HP)
Heavily Played condition cards exhibit signs of heavy wear. Heavily Played condition cards may include cards that have significant creasing, folding, severe water damage, heavy whitening, heavy border wear, and/or tearing.
Damaged (D)
Damaged condition cards show obvious tears, bends, or creases that could make the card illegal for tournament play, even when sleeved. Damaged condition cards have massive border wear, possible writing or major inking (ex. white-bordered cards with black-markered front borders), massive corner wear, prevalent scratching, folds, creases or tears.
