Single Card Condition Policy

Trading Card Condition Policy

At Aards Cards Ltd, we strive to provide our customers with the best possible shopping experience, especially when it comes to the condition of the single trading cards we offer. Transparency and honesty are our top priorities, and we want to ensure that you know exactly what to expect when purchasing from us. To this end, we have established the following policy regarding the condition of the single trading cards we sell:

Condition Standards

All single trading cards sold on our website will be in at least "Good" to "Excellent" condition. While some of the cards we offer may be in "Mint" or "Near Mint" condition, we choose to advertise them as being in "Good" to "Excellent" condition to ensure that we consistently meet or exceed your expectations. Below are the definitions of our condition categories:

Mint (MT): Cards in perfect condition with no visible flaws, centering issues, or wear. These cards look as if they have just been taken out of a pack.
Near Mint (NM): Cards in nearly perfect condition with very minor wear that is only visible upon close inspection. They might have minor centering issues but no significant flaws.
Excellent (EX): Cards that have been handled and may show slight wear on the edges or corners. There may be minor surface scratches or slight centering issues, but the overall appearance is still very good.
Good (GD): Cards that show more noticeable wear, including edge and corner wear, surface scratches, and possible minor creases. Despite these imperfections, the cards are still in a collectible condition and are perfectly suitable for play.

Our Commitment to Quality

We understand the importance of card condition to collectors and players alike. Therefore, we commit to the following:

Honest Representation: All cards will be advertised as being in "Good" to "Excellent" condition, even if they may be in better condition. This ensures that you receive cards that meet or exceed your expectations.
Thorough Inspection: Each card is carefully inspected by our team before being listed for sale. We take great care to accurately assess and grade the condition of every card.
Customer Satisfaction: If you receive a card that you believe does not meet the advertised condition, please contact our customer service team within 30 days of receiving your order. We will work with you to resolve any issues, including possible returns or exchanges.

Stock Image Disclaimer

At Aards Cards Ltd, we use stock images for our single trading card listings to provide customers with a clear representation of the card they are purchasing. However, it is important to note the following:

Stock Images: The images displayed on our website for single trading card listings are stock images. These images are meant to give you a good representation of the card's artwork and general appearance.
Condition Variations: The stock images do not necessarily reflect the specific condition of the card you will receive. As stated in our Condition Policy, all cards sold will be in at least "Good" to "Excellent" condition, but the actual card may vary in appearance and condition from the stock image.
Exact Card Not Guaranteed: The stock images are not of the exact card you will receive. Each card is unique, and the one you receive may have different centering, edges, corners, and surface details compared to the stock image. Do note that you will of course receive the card as advertised in the product title and as represented by the stock image visible on the product listing.

By making a purchase from Aards Cards Ltd, you acknowledge and agree to these terms regarding the use of stock images for our single trading card listings. We aim to ensure that you are well-informed and confident in your purchase.

Disclaimer

While we make every effort to accurately grade and describe the condition of our cards, grading is inherently subjective. The condition categories provided are based on our best judgment and industry standards. Variations in individual perceptions may occur. By purchasing from us, you acknowledge that our condition grading is a subjective assessment and agree to our policy as described.

We appreciate your understanding and trust in our commitment to providing you with quality trading cards.
