About this term

Scratch (or dent) describes surface damage on a photocard or album — marks, bent corners, or creases.

Honest sellers disclose flaws with close-up proof. Minor scratches often mean a lower price, not a fake.

Frequently asked questions

Should I buy a scratched PC?

If the discount matches the flaw and you display or collect casually, it can be fine.

Scratch vs bent corner — same thing?

Both are condition flaws. Sellers may label dents or bends separately in condition notes.
