Conditions des Cartes Pokemon Brutes
Avant d'envoyer des cartes pour gradation, il est important de comprendre les conditions brutes.
Le marché des cartes brutes repose sur la confiance—acheteurs et vendeurs s'accordant sur l'état sans l'autorité d'un grade tiers.
Comprendre les Conditions Brutes
Avant d'envoyer des cartes pour gradation professionnelle, comprendre les conditions brutes est essentiel. Le marché des cartes brutes utilise un système standardisé de Near Mint à Heavily Played.
Ces conditions affectent directement la valeur. Une carte Near Mint peut valoir 50% de plus qu'une Lightly Played, et les acheteurs scrutent chaque défaut.
Ce guide vous aide à évaluer avec précision les conditions de vos cartes pour acheter, vendre ou décider si la gradation vaut le coût.
Aperçu des Conditions
Les conditions suivent une échelle standard utilisée par TCGPlayer et CardMarket.
Near Mint (NM)
90-100%Une carte NM semble sortie du paquet.
- —Coins nets
- —Bords propres
- —Surface sans rayures
- —Pas de plis
NM est la condition standard pour les ventes en ligne.
The line between NM and LP is often debated. Some sellers are strict, reserving NM only for pack-fresh cards. Others include light handling that doesn't affect playability. When in doubt, condition your cards conservatively—an LP card listed as LP will satisfy buyers, while an NM listing that arrives as LP creates disputes.
Lightly Played (LP)
70-90%Les cartes LP montrent une usure mineure.
- —Légère usure des coins
- —Rayures légères
- —Défauts mineurs
- —Pas de plis
Les cartes LP sont souvent moins chères que NM.
Many grading candidates come from the LP tier. A card that's LP due to centering might still grade PSA 9 or higher. LP due to surface scratching likely won't. Learning to identify why a card is LP helps predict grading outcomes.
Moderately Played (MP)
40-70%Les cartes MP montrent une usure évidente.
- —Coins arrondis
- —Usure des bords visible
- —Rayures surface
- —Plis mineurs possibles
MP convient aux collections économiques.
MP cards rarely make sense for grading unless extremely valuable. The wear that qualifies a card as MP typically results in grades of PSA 5-7, which often sell for less than raw NM copies. However, vintage cards where even damaged copies hold value can be exceptions.
Heavily Played (HP)
20-40%Les cartes HP ont une usure significative.
- —Forte usure coins
- —Blanchiment bords
- —Rayures multiples
- —Plis présents
HP pour jouer ou sets économiques.
HP cards have legitimate uses. Competitive players might use HP copies of expensive staples in testing or casual play. Collectors might accept HP for cards worth hundreds in NM—a HP 1st Edition Charizard still displays the artwork and holds significant value.
Damaged (DMG)
5-20%Les cartes endommagées ont des problèmes majeurs.
- —Plis majeurs
- —Déchirures
- —Dégâts d'eau
- —Taches importantes
Seules les cartes rares/vintage conservent de la valeur.
Some damaged cards can't be sold on major platforms—cards with writing or applied stickers may violate listing policies. Always photograph damage extensively when selling damaged cards to avoid disputes.
US vs EU Grading Scales
The European market, centered on CardMarket, uses a different condition scale than TCGPlayer's US standard. Understanding both systems is crucial for international buyers and arbitrage traders.
US Scale (TCGPlayer)
US Scale (TCGPlayer): Near Mint (NM), Lightly Played (LP), Moderately Played (MP), Heavily Played (HP), Damaged (DMG)
EU Scale (CardMarket)
EU Scale (CardMarket): Mint (M), Near Mint (NM), Excellent (EX), Good (GD), Light Played (LP), Played (PL), Poor (PO)
Key differences: EU 'Mint' is stricter than US 'Near Mint'—M on CardMarket expects pack-fresh perfection. EU 'Near Mint' roughly equals US 'Near Mint'. EU 'Excellent' sits between US 'NM' and 'LP'. EU 'Good' roughly equals US 'LP'. EU 'Light Played' and 'Played' map roughly to US 'MP' and 'HP'.
DIY Condition Assessment Guide
Learning to assess your own cards saves time and money. Here's a systematic approach to evaluating condition.
Lighting Setup
Use bright, diffused lighting. Direct light creates glare on holographic surfaces. A desk lamp with daylight bulbs works well. Examine cards at multiple angles to catch surface issues.
Corner Inspection
Hold the card at eye level and examine each corner individually. Look for whitening, softness, or rounding. Even minor wear is visible when you know what to look for. Use a loupe or magnifying glass for close inspection.
Edge Examination
Run your eye along each edge slowly. Look for nicks, chips, or whitening where the card's core shows through. Pay special attention to corners where edges meet.
Surface Analysis
Tilt the card under light to catch scratches. Holographic cards reveal surface issues when angled. Check both front and back. Look for print lines, ink spots, and dents.
Centering Check
Compare border widths on opposite sides. Significant centering issues are immediately apparent. Use a centering tool or ruler for precise measurement if needed.
Storage Tips to Maintain Condition
Proper storage prevents condition degradation. These practices protect your investment.
- —Always use penny sleeves for individual cards—they prevent surface scratching and edge wear
- —Store valuable cards in toploaders or card savers within penny sleeves
- —Avoid rubber bands—they cause indentation and damage over time
- —Keep cards away from humidity, direct sunlight, and temperature extremes
- —Store horizontally when possible to prevent warping
- —Use binders with side-loading pages to prevent cards from falling out
- —Handle cards by edges only—fingerprints affect surface condition
