What condition is my card in?

    I have a Pikachu Libre card from the Trainer Kit. It is flawless, except for a very obvious scratch. The scratch looks intentional, it is 1/3 inches long, and the holofoil can be seen underneath. Other than that unsightly scratch, the card is perfect?

    What condition is it in? Mint, Near Mint, Excellent, Played, or Damaged?

    At best, it'd get a PSA grade of 2, which is "Good", closest to that being "played". It's all because of that scratch.

    2 is good? Hell, I better get some of the stuff I've been calling "LP" graded haha!

    Either way, Libre isn't a massively rare card Katchmll so I wouldn't worry too much about a big drop in value

    Well, 5 and above on their scale are "Excellent", so yeah. But anything below a 7 for condition isn't really worth the grading unless the card is super valuable.

    Yeah that's a fairly notable scratch. You'll have trouble selling it.
