Cardsphere Images Guide
Updated 10 Dec 2020
Please include images of card fronts and backs for each card being disputed on condition. When providing images of multiple cards, use a grid and show cards with fronts in one picture and backs in another, without cards changing position. Use a dark, unpatterned background so that border wear is easily detectable. Light should be as even and flat as possible, with as little glare as possible. The entire card should be visible if you are complaining about its condition.
Of course, some details are very hard to capture. It's okay to also include close ups of damage you want to highlight, but make sure that it's clear for each photo which card is being discussed. Flaws that require strong, direct light being shone to be revealed are not likely to drop a card below near mint unless there are several spots on the same card. An example of when this kind of lighting would be appropriate is when you need to show surface scuffing on foils, which often comes as very many hairline scratches.
If there has been any damage to cards or package in transit, take adequate photos of these and any postal system packaging and/or notifications you received. We also require photos to prove that receivers have had to pay postage due.
