Marked Cards???!!!

The definition of a 'marked card' is a card that has some distinguishing mark on it that makes it look set apart from the rest of the cards in a deck, for example, a Rare Candy with a crease in it. If you see the crease, you know it's a Rare Candy. (Hence why they're not allowed - you can tell what it is before you draw it.)

In tournaments, no marked cards are to be used, and all 60 cards are to look the same, because to guard against unfair play. If cards have worn from age and are scratched on the back, it's fine, BUT you need to put them in sleeves so it's not obvious as to what they are.
 
>.< A marked card is considered a card that has markings on the back or on the sleeve to distinguishe those cards from the rest. It's a form of cheating which can get you disqualified from tournaments.

that's what i thought it was. i just wanted to get a clear understanding because my brother and i are going to get into the tournament scene. on the same note, does that mean if we have cards in sleeves which cover the backs of the cards (in case there is a tear, crease etc. on the card), would that be legal?
 
Yes, just so long as the creases and tears cannot be seen through the sleeves, i.e. the sleeves have to be opaque.
