Condition Guide

Sealed Product:

All Sealed Products come in Mint condition. 

 

Card Singles: (Coming Soon)

Currently, Card Confluence aims to give the best bang for your buck by offering Card Singles in either Near Mint (NM) or Lightly Played (LP) condition. If a card happens to be in stock for both NM and LP conditions, there would be no difference between the selling prices of cards in either condition. In this case, customers can still indicate and select their preferred card condition in their order.

As we grow, more types of card conditions may be available depending on our capacity and market supply. Please refer below for the definitions of NM/LP card conditions.

Near Mint (NM):

Cards in Near Mint (NM) condition show minimal to no wear from handling or play. Such cards usually have an unmarked surface (both front and back) along with mostly unblemished corners and edges, with very minor wear only visible upon close inspection e.g. very tiny edge nicks, very slight scratches and/or clouding, minor printing flaws like slightly blurry/bolded card text etc.

Cards in NM condition should not have any major flaws e.g. severe structural bending, creasing, tears, water/grime damage, major printing issues, signed/Sharpie marks (black marker ink on borders) etc.

Lightly Played (LP):

Cards in Lightly Played (LP) condition show minor wear from handling or play, which is noticeable upon general inspection. Such cards usually have minor scuffing, scratches, or clouding on the surface (can be on either front and/or back) along with some minor corner/edge nicks, scratches and/or whitening. Noticeable printing flaws may exist e.g. slight misalignment (but not enough to see any details of the adjacent card print).

Cards in LP condition still should not have any major flaws e.g. severe structural bending, creasing, tears, water/grime damage, major printing issues, signed/Sharpie marks (black marker ink on borders) etc.

 

Advisory Note on Minor Card Warping due to Humidity

Unfortunately, high humidity is to be expected in Singapore's tropical climate and this may cause slight warping of cards (both non-foil and foil) if they are left exposed to environments with high humidity. It is recommended that cards be handled in a dry and cool environment. If slight warping has already occurred, it is advisable to store the cards for some time along with some silica gel desiccant packs / a dehumidifier in an airtight container to attempt to reverse the warping effect caused by humidity.

This is just a general advisory, please do your own research and due diligence on how to best maintain and store cards for the best long-term quality. Card Confluence will not be held responsible for any perceived card damage/flaws that may occur due to improper customer handling of received orders/booster packs.
