Card Condition & Grading API
Get accurate pricing for every card condition. Stop guessing and start pricing with precision using SKU-level condition data.
All Conditions Supported
Our API provides separate pricing data for every TCGPlayer condition grade.
Near Mint (NM)
Cards in near-perfect condition with minimal to no wear. The standard for collectible value.
Lightly Played (LP)
Minor wear visible on close inspection. Still excellent for play and display.
Moderately Played (MP)
Noticeable wear including edge whitening or light scratches. Fully playable.
Heavily Played (HP)
Significant wear with creases, heavy whitening, or notable damage. Budget option.
Damaged (DMG)
Major damage present including tears, water damage, or severe wear.
Condition Changes Everything
A Near Mint card can be worth 2-3x more than a Lightly Played copy of the same card. For high-value cards, this difference can be hundreds or thousands of dollars.
