We try to carry as many Magic cards as possible but sometimes we run out of cards. We are continually purchasing cards in order to provide a better selection.

No, we carry no other collectable card games. We have decided to remain focused and dedicated on providing Magic Card singles only.

Unfortunately you cannot place a back order on cards. Card prices are continually changing and we cannot guarantee that a current price quote will be the same in the future. We advise that you check back often since new cards will continuously be added.

Cards have been rated using the following scale: M - NM - EX - VG - G - P

Mint (M)		This unplayed card is perfect in every way.
Near Mint (NM)		This unplayed card shows almost no wear and may have a few minor scraches and/or slight marks on the card's edges.
Excellent (EX)		This card has been played, but not heavily. It has some minor scratches and/or less-than-perfect edges. It will show less than 1/32" depth of white along one or two edges of one face of the card.
Very Good (VG)		This card has obviously been played more heavily. It lacks marks that would make it easily identifiable. It has some scratches and/or less-than-perfect edges. It will show less than 1/16" depth of white along one or more edges of one face of the card. It may have a minor crease that is only visible close up.
Good (G)		This card has a played look to it. It will have white showing on three or four edges on both faces. This card may also have more than 1/16" depth of white showing on an edge on the back face of the card. It may also have permanent black marks from dirt. Cannot be easily distingushed from the other Good condition cards of the playdeck.
Poor (P)		This card is in less than Good condition. It has a distinguishing mark that distinguishes it from other cards of the playdeck.

Collector's Edition were printed with a gold border on the back and square corners. Collector's Edition cards are only worth about 1/6 of their Beta counterparts. Be careful however, many Collector's Edition cards have had their corners trimmed to appear identical to Beta cards when played in a colored sleeve.

Misprints are cards such as the infamous Blue Hurricane, Summer Magic, Wyvern backs, Revised Serendib Efreet, Cursed Scroll or Time Elemental/Serra Angel to name a few. These cards have ALL been produced with a specific error. They are played in the same manner as their correct counterparts and not necessarily by what is printed on the card.

Miscuts are caused during the manufacturing process. These errors can be singular events and can consist of packaging crimps, dye bleeds, missing dyes, miscut cards (cards that are not centered or in extreme cases have other cards showing) or other printing errors.

Artists often receive copies of the cards which use their artwork. These cards have a normal looking front but have a white back which is usually autographed.

These are cards which have been professionally graded by the Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA). The ratings go from 1-10 with 10 being a GEM MINT card. These cards sell for a premium since their condition is verified and they have been sealed with their rating in a tamper proof container.
