Alpha

Limited Edition Alpha, commonly known as Alpha, is the first print run of Limited Edition, the first Core Set of Magic: The Gathering.

To Make life simple for our customers, Wizard's Tower only sells cards in 4 conditions: "Near Mint/Mint", "Slightly Played", "Moderately Played", and "Heavily Played".

NM/M = Near Mint/Mint

Cards in Near Mint/Mint condition show minimal to no wear from shuffling or general play. A card graded in Near Mint/Mint condition is generally indistinguishable from cards in an unsleeved deck of other Near Mint/Mint cards. Foils in this category have little or no scuffing or clouding on the front.

SP = Slightly Played

Cards in Slightly Played condition show definite, minor wear. Examples of cards in this grade include cards with mild border wear, minor corner wear, slight scratching, or scuffing/loss of sheen on the front due to play wear. Foils in this condition will generally have some clouding or wear on the front of the card. Sleeves may or may not be needed to play these cards in a tournament.

MP= Moderately Played

Cards in Moderately Played condition show moderate wear, but are still legal for tournament play if sleeved. Examples of cards in this grade include cards with shuffle creasing, moderate corner wear, moderate border wear, moderate whitening on the back or front face of the card, slight-to-moderate inking along the back borders, major scratching.

HP = Heavily Played

Cards in Heavily Played condition show extreme signs of wear from play. Examples of cards in this grade include cards with extreme whitening on the corners and/ or borders on the front and/or back of the card. Possible water damage. Signs of little to extreme creasing may be present on the corners or within the card. Cards in Heavily Played condition are generally not tournament legal even while sleeved.
