Help › Item Condition : Coins
When you manage your own personal collection you may want to indicate the condition of the items you have or want. After marking an item, hover the cursor over the star next to the note box and a menu will pop-up. If you have several items with different conditions, please mark the best condition for items you have (collection/swap) and the worst condition you are willing to receive (wish). You can also indicate a quantity of the item. After marking an item, hover the cursor over the diamond next to the star and a menu will pop-up.
NOTE! It is PROHIBITED to mark items you do not physically have on your collection or swap lists. Marking an item in a condition you don't physically have is also PROHIBITED. Breaking this rule may lead to your account being deactivated without warning.
