Graded? It's just a fancy way of saying how minty fresh your card is. The better the grade, the more $$$ you can ask for it.

Graded cards are kind of like the dean's list for Pokemon TCG! It means the card's condition has been professionally assessed and given a score typically ranging from 1 to 10. A higher score indicates better condition, which can boost the card's value, especially among collectors. Think of it as a Pokemon card's report card, where a perfect 10 is the valedictorian.

Getting a Pokemon card graded is like having a judge at a beauty pageant for your card. They check out everything – the centering, corners, surface, and edges – and then give it a score. A high score means your card is in tip-top shape, making it more valuable and desirable.

Honestly, grading is overrated. Just collect and play with the cards you love!
