For many reasons, it helps to be objective when evaluating cards.

I always ask myself two questions when looking at a card:
  1. What condition/value would I place on this if it was my card?
  2. What condition/value would I place on this if I was trying to buy this card?

This simple exercise allow me to see both sides of the coin, so to speak. The true condition/value is typically on the edge of that coin, between the two sides.
