Clean Front & Back?
Posted By: Lee Behrens
This seems to be the latest craze in describing cards. What is it suppose to mean? Did the just wash them? If there is anyone out there using this description, please explain to me how it describes the condition of the card. |

Clean Front & Back?
Posted By: Hankron
I use the term 'clean' in my descriptions. For me, at least, it means 'no problems.' A completely clean card would have no ceases, wrinkles, stains or such. As I don't think I ever sell anything in Mint condition and reasonably describe all condition probblems, the description usually is something on the order of: "There is corner and edge wear and a wrinkle in the upper left corner of the back. Otherwise the card clean," or "No other problems." |

As I know how anal retentive trading card collectors are about condition (not criticizing), even though I'm a 'clean' guy, when offering a single trading card I would mention all problems and also specifically say something like "No other creases, wrinkles or other condition problems." See, you card guys scare me. |

I also use the term "clean". Mind you, "clean" is a subjective term (as with most adjectives used to describe a card) but for me, it's more of a reference to the surfaces, print quality and toning/aging. |

I've used "clean" in my descriptions too and I don't see a problem. It means the card surface is w/o stains or dirt spots. |

I have used "clean" before when referring to backs of cards I am selling when I don't provide a back scan. To me it indicates (on the back of the card) that there are no significant issues with the back (creases, staining, writing), and that the bidder can be assured that there won't be any unwelcome surprises when they receive the card. |

With a Cracker aJack, I'd be more likely to say "no stains." CleaN MEANS NO MARKS, EXTRANEOUS, NO DIRT FROM BEING HANDLED, NO CORNERS WHICH HAVE GOTTEN ROUNDED AND ALLOWED DIRT TO CREEP INTO THE EDGES--JUST CLEAN! other description is also necessary--centering, register, corners, color, creases, wrinkles. But clean means--clean. |
