Examples of Typical Grades

I did the best I could to give examples of each grade. Grades are subjective to the point that one person's Ex+ could be another person's Nearmint. I feel that sets and cards should be graded by listing typical flaws and not so much by arguing over whether a flaw is near mint worthy or not. Does a blunted corner drop a card out of near mint range? Who cares? The main point would be to make sure that the blunted corner is called out so advertising a set as Ex+ is not as meaningful as saying, "the set has the following possible flaws and make sure pictures of the typical flaws or of the actual cards are provided.

Mint	Near Mint	Ex+	Ex	Vg	Poor
