HankronI use the term 'clean' in my descriptions. For me, at least, it means 'no problems.' A completely clean card would have no ceases, wrinkles, stains or such. As I don't think I ever sell anything in Mint condition and reasonably describe all condition probblems, the description usually is something on the order of: "There is corner and edge wear and a wrinkle in the upper left corner of the back. Otherwise the card clean," or "No other problems."
I'm sure I'll take the heat, but I sometimes even use the description: "Crease in the upper right corner. Otherwise Near Mint." I should point out that I sell almost no cards, so these descriptions are applied to different types of products. For something like a metal press pin, 'clean' probabably sounds more appropriate.
