The exact card
No stock photos. No “similar condition”. What you inspect is what arrives.
About NearMintRaw
We don’t grade cards.We remove the gamble from buying raw ones.
For years, buying a raw card meant a few photos, a vague condition line and hope. NMR replaces that with objective inspection data — captured the same way, every time, on the exact card you receive.

Inspection, not grading
We assign no grades and compete with no grader. We report what we measure.
Same process, always
Every card passes the same photography and inspection pipeline before listing.
Why not just buy elsewhere?
Same card. Very different information.
Open marketplaces are brilliant — they just weren't built for collectors who need precision. Toggle the columns to compare.

Why we're different
Three things rarely found together
Transparency
See measurements, not adjectives. Centering, corners, edges and surface are recorded before the listing goes live.
Consistency
One photography standard, one inspection process, one report layout — so two cards can actually be compared.
Technology
NMR Vision measures printed borders to sub-pixel precision and lets you drag the lines yourself.
Our mission isn’t to tell you what a card is worth. It’s to show you exactly what you’re buying.
Built for collectors
Whatever you’re chasing, uncertainty isn’t part of it.
- Building a binder
- Hunting a grading candidate
- Completing a master set
- Investing long term
- Finding your next favourite card
