All cards are shipped in a soft sleeve, inside a top loader, mailed in a padded mailer marked "DO NOT BEND" for added protection.

The following is how we grade our magazines.

G-Good: Cover attached but rough, not suitable for framing or an autograph.

VG-Very Good: A more attractive looking suitable for an autograph, etc. May have creases, but I will mention any major ones.

EX-Excellent: Only minor flaws such as tiny corner folds. No major flaws such as stains, water damage, pen marks, etc. It may have the label removed with residual glue stains, but I will mention these.

NM-Near Mint: May have a label, but would probably be mint without it.

M-Mint: No label ever, usually a news stand copy. Also, 97% of S.I.'s are sold via subscription, as such news stand issues usually carry a 50% to 300% premium.
