Card Grading
Special thanks to Darcy for compiling the card grading info
Mint (MT) -- A card with four sharp corners, 50/50 centering, no imperfections or signs of wear. Even cards straight out of the pack do not always grade mint.
Redemption = you can't see any white in the red border on the back of the card, and when you shine the light off of the card, there are no imperfections to be seen.
Near Mint (NM) -- A near-perfect card with perhaps one minor imperfection, such as one blunt corner. Centering is no worse than 60/40 and the card must have its original gloss.
Redemption = there may be one or two specs of white showing in the red border on the back of the card, and minor problems when you shine the light off of the card.
**Note** - This is the most common "mint" card I've received, and it simply is not "mint" by any collector's standards.
Excellent-Mint (EX-MT) -- A card with only two or three minor imperfections. Must have original gloss and centering no worse than 70/30.
Redemption = this will have some wear beginning to show in the red border on the back of the card, and there will probably be a few scratches to be seen on the front face of the card.
**Note** - This is also considered "mint" by many players. To a collector, this was a shabby deal if he/she thought he/she was getting a mint card.
Excellent (EX) -- A card with a few minor imperfections. Some original gloss is lost and the edges show moderate wear. All four corners typically show some wear. Centering is no worse than 75/25.
Redemption = this will have wear showing, but color is still good, and the card looks pretty nice to the eye. There should be no creases or significant scratches on the card, but this card has obviously seen some gaming.
Very Good (VG) -- A card that shows obvious handling but is still attractive despite wear and imperfections. A VG card may have a crease, but one that's not severe enough to make the card unattractive. Most of the original gloss is lost.
Redemption = this card is similer to EX, but might have a small crease or two.
**Note** - This card is usually not legal in tournament play without card protectors.
Good (G), Fair (F), Poor (P) -- A very worn card with many major imperfections. Collectors use cards of these grades as fillers until better ones can be found.
Redemption = this card usually does not have a "white" border on the front face of the card as it is discolored. This card also may have significant creases, and you just wouldn't want to show this one off.
**Note** - This card almost never makes for a tournament legal card unless it is in a card protector.

RedemptionRocket:
I'm not so sure that the centering of the image on a card can be brought into the realm of a Redemption card's condition. Unlike baseball and other sport cards, it appears that the machines that print Redemption cards are notorious for off-centering images on cards and giving them non-even borders...in fact it's almost more normal to have an off-center card (60/40 or 70/30) than it is to have a 50/50 card! Quality used to be better back in the Women, Prophets, and Warriors, but ever since Angel Wars, and ESPECIALLY in the Priests, the quality of the cards w.r.t centering has gone way down. I suspect that this is because the cards are printed in China now, and I don't know if that has always been the case...but the quality of Priest cards is nowhere near what they used to be back in the "good ol' days".
Other examples of poor packaging/etc of new Priest packs is that some of the cards COME IN THE PACKS scuffed up, have a bent corner, and worst of all there are packs that have no Rare or Ultra Rare! Right, that's only 9 cards, not 10...what a jip. I've seen other packs that have 11 cards, one Rare and one Ultra Rare...so it's safe to say that if you have a pack missing a card, that extra card should be an Ultra Rare and somebody else just got a bonus. Nice job, Cactus. :P
RedemptionRocket:
One more thing about the Priests cards...some of them I've been noticing are FADED. That's right, the images on the card are FADED. Again, says something about the quality of the cards in packs nowadays...
Mint should be a card that is just out of a pack...cards just out of packs should NOT come in non-mint quality. "Mint" is essentially the base case for a card, freshly from a pack. If it comes either off-centered or faded, then it is still "mint". Perhaps less than desirable for some collectors...but that is Cactus' fault, not the person who purchased the pack.
If the person who purchased the pack then goes and plays with the previously "mint" card, and gets it worn, or bent, or otherwise used, it then lowers in condition and therefore price.
Minister Polarius:
"Mint" means "perfect": not faded, scuffed, bent, off-center, or anything else. Some cards are better non-Mint (WotB Errors, anyone?) but for the most part, even if they're straight out of the pack, if they aren't perfect they aren't mint.
