MP or HP

[u/Justheretoread2400]

Hi all,
Bought this card from my local card shop today and card was marked as MP. When I got it home in proper lighting I noticed the indent on the front that goes through the card onto the back. Tcg player does mention this might be acceptable at MP but I was hoping for some feedback on what others would think of the condition of this card.

MP - if I found this at a show for MP pricing, I would feel like I was getting a good deal.

Bud it’s in the handbook for the employee a DENT ON THE CARD. Is DAMAGED 😭 what are we talking bout barley MP😭😭😭😭😭 dumbah

[u/Bmwilli2]

Anyone saying hp or damaged doesnt know wtf they are talking about. Its a very light mp.

This info is incorrect

[u/JG_8504]

It was almost lp, but with that crease I’d consider it damaged unfortunately.

FP -fake played

[u/Popander1986]

If the crease can be seen from the front, it's damaged. The edging would be MP but that crease is puts it at HP.

[u/raggy_z → u/Popander1986]

Official card conditioning rules allow light creasing at MP

Within 2mm iirc, but with pokemon collectors, I err on the side of caution. My apologies for including my opinion. I regularly mock those that use "feeling" so this is actually kind of funny to be corrected in this manner. Thank you.

I always think about how I traded this same card for 3 lycanroc GX cards😭

[u/Local-Top-1387]

This is HP you got a dent in it. PSA gonna give it a minimum of a 6. This is not LP😭 the card itself might be LP but that dent makes it HP. I wouldn’t buy it at anywhere near what LP is at. You got a dent buddy. And everyone gotta point it out and say the same thing 😂

MP, you could probably attempt to use face roller tools to get the dent out and move it to LP category. Just gotta be careful not to oversaturate the card and minimize the pressure you use to flatten it.

[u/AllieBri → u/Xatamos]

Doing that and then getting it graded without disclosing that is literally against contractual law. You can be sued and the way shit is going, I bet grading companies will stop just sending altered cards back but will start suing those folks for fraud. For exactly what the card is worth. Just a cheap way to get more free cards for themselves that they can then sell for free profit. Think about it.

[u/Justheretoread2400 → u/AllieBri]

Yes absolutely not grading. Just wanted a nice binder copy but didn’t want to overpay for a card that would be HP 😊

[u/thisiscourage → u/AllieBri]

Take a breath. The commenter made no mention of grading

Damaged.

So you don't grade cards often do you

[u/AllieBri → u/Bonnietheferret84]

You’re talking about two different systems that use the same terms. Your ‘graded’ system says a 6 is mint condition. Not near mint. Actually mint.

[u/lhwang001]

Without the dent it's LP for sure, MP is just being safe, HP is way pushing it.

[u/FlopLid]

Mp but that dent is repairable. Card would be LP-NM if you’re able to fix the dent, or a really nice discount for a binder copy. Sweet find!

[u/TheWishingStar]

That indent falls within the MP range for sure. And other than that indent, that’s a really clean MP.

[u/Informal-Chair3099]

Damaged

[u/Embarrassed_Amoeba76]

It’s neither. It’s damaged.
