1982 Topps baseball Nolan Ryan Highlight card #5 NM-MT nice card I owned a card shop for years - buy from a pro all cards shipped in a top loader in a padded envelope grading is subjective - check photos & ask questions all cards sold AS IS A GEM Mint (10) is a perfect (like new) card in every way. No wear and NEARLY 50/50 centered A MINT (9) card will be a nearly perfect card that looks as clean and sharp as the day it was printed. There will be no surface flaws, bends, creases or stains on the front or the back . The picture will be centered within the borders with a ratio of 55/45 or better all-around and the corners and edges will be sharp and clean like a new business card. A NM/MT (8) card will appear as a MINT card to the naked eye but may have a little lesser centering and a light touch of wear that may be visible on a corner upon close examination. A NM/MT card should have no surface flaws, bends, creases or stains on the front or back. Centering must be no worse than 60/40 all around. A NM (7) card will look virtually new at first glance. However, upon closer examination, there may be slight fuzziness to the corners, minor color or print imperfections and the centering must still be 65/35 or better all around. A EX/NM (6) card is a more common “higher” grade for vintage cards, may have slightly fuzzy corners, color or print imperfections, a slightly skewed cut or slightly out-of-focus image . Centering must be 70/30 or better all around. A EX (5) card is a most common grade for vintage cards. The corners may exhibit the beginnings of rounding from light wear. Surface gloss may begin to be affected . Cards should still exhibit at least 75/25 or better centering. A VG/EX (4) card corners will show wear and may have light creasing near the edge . Centering must be 80/20 or better. A light wrinkle or minor crease may be evident on the reverse of the card . More serious print issues and cards with wax stains will also fall into the VG/EX grade. A VG (3) card will exhibit moderate wear and the corners may be more rounded rather than square. Cards with a strong wrinkle or crease will usually grade VG regardless of their other characteristics. Likewise, this is typically the highest grade any card with a stain will receive.
