Probably a dumb question...
but I don't know so I have to ask. What does the exclamation point after a card description signify?
I collect Michael Jordan, Mitch Richmond, and Ohio State players (football and basketball) in OSU gear. I strongly prefer 90's-era cards and use newer cards primarily for trade bait!

The card is condition sensitive.

I used to read it, but seriously, that was 10+ years ago. Things have been moved around in my head since then.

That's actually what I was guessing based on the types of cards I've seen with it, I just wasn't sure. Thanks! And nice to know I wasn't the only one wondering either

RE: Probably a dumb question...
As filamuraireborn already stated, the "!" in the price guide signifies that the card is condition sensitive. The sensitivity can be due to many reasons including: black borders that easily whiten, factory misalignment or sheet location that caused the card to be off center or damaged for most of the print run, other common print flaw or surface damage that occurred for most of the print run, and then for the really old school cards there is the case where card number 1 or the last card number in the set for older cards commonly were damaged (as back in the day people would rubber band the cards together which caused damage to the top and bottom card).
