Pokemon Trading Card Game

Is this still NM?

I normally buy cards in poor – good conditions because I don't have a lot of money but love vintage. This one isn't really expensive so I figured why not spend a little more to get it in NM. It just arrived and the condition looks worse than a lot of "good" cards I've been buying, so now I'm wondering if that's the sellers mistake or if that's what I should expect with NM? Especially confused about the scratch on the front…

Bear with me, trying to learn if I have to adjust my expectations for NM!

    maybe MP because of the scratch. or damaged i dunno. to me NM is no visible scratches and only one or two tiny dots of whitening. other than that i dont consider NM, maybe used/LP

    I wouldn’t even call this excellent anymore. I’d say NM is 2 or 3 small white dots at most.

    looks LP to me, not NM. did it not match the pictures?

    personally if I was to be caring about condition I would only buy places with pictures. even if it was NM it might have had spots where you didn’t want them.
