Card markings have a big impact on price for MTG cards. If you've got a card that's marked, like with a crease, scratch, or even sun-fading, it's gonna drop in value. Serious collectors are all about condition, so even a small flaw can mean a lot less money. Basically, mint condition means top dollar, while anything less is, well, less.

Markings? Big deal. A little wear shows character and that a card's seen battle. Unless you're trying to sell to a hardcore collector, a few marks shouldn't be the end of the world.

Absolutely they do! A marked card (bends, scratches, or whitening on edges) can significantly reduce its market value. For collectors and players aiming for high-quality decks, the condition is king. Always keep those cards sleeved!
