EXCELLENT: (33cards) Card looks great it has nice color and borders with one to 3 very small light flaws. One light small corner ding or two very light rounded or fuzzy corners.

VERY GOOD PLUS: (72 cards) Card is still with very nice color and look. It may have two to four flaws. Corners with a slightly bigger ding or touch than an E card. T may be a scuff, or two slightly more rounded corners. T maybe one very light, small crack that is hard to see at first. T may be a small ding on the border. The card may have corners that are very lightly fuzzy. Each fault counts as a flaw and t may not be more than four. Some examples of VG+ are:

VERY GOOD: (37 cards) Card color is still nice but t will be more corners that are slightly rounded or dinged. T might be corner dings that is bigger than a plus card. or cards may have up to five flaws. No major cracks across a big part or portion of the card, just on the corner or border of approx. ½ in. at the most: Some examples of a VG card are: #8 (four small corner dings, light scratch), 11(four light corner dings, ¼ in. press mark on helmet),22(four lightly dinged corners),26(four light corner touches, scuff on cheek), 31(one touched corner, two lightly dinged corners), Other cards VG: 66,70,73,74,76,80,88,89,91,97,100,104,105,106,108,117,126,143,144,158,160,164,176,181,184,187,198,216,221,234,237,243,
