Condition & Authenticity

Clear condition, exact-item photography and a careful authenticity process are central to how Pika Haus serves collectors.

Our condition scale

Mint

Exceptional condition with no readily visible wear under normal inspection. Mint does not guarantee any third-party grading result.

Near Mint

Clean overall with only very minor handling or manufacturing imperfections.

Light Played

Minor edge wear, surface marks or other light signs of handling that do not materially affect the card’s integrity.

Moderate Played

Noticeable wear such as whitening, scratches or small dents, clearly disclosed in the listing.

Heavy Played

Significant wear or defects while the card remains complete and identifiable.

Damaged

Major defects such as creases, tears, water damage, peeling or structural damage.

Exact-item photographs

Unique raw-card listings show the exact front and back of the item offered. Material defects are shown or described. Reference images are labelled clearly and never presented as the exact copy.

Graded cards

For graded cards, Pika Haus records the grading company, grade and certification number where appropriate and checks certification details against the grader’s official database before publication.

Authenticity commitment

Every item sold by Pika Haus is represented as genuine. If you have an authenticity concern, contact us promptly with your order number, photographs and a description of the issue. We will investigate and provide an appropriate remedy if an item is confirmed not to be authentic.

Before you buy

Condition is an informed assessment, not a prediction of a future grading result. Please review every listing’s photographs and copy-specific notes, and contact us before purchase if you need another image or detail.
