Average-quality stickercards are slightly smaller (width and length) than good-quality stickercards. They measure slightly under 2 5/16 inches width-wise by slightly under 3 6/16 inches length-wise(or 5.85 cm by 8.60 cm).
They can have either or all of the following flaws:
The word "SAILORMOON" is usually incomplete and not centered on the bottom of the card, along with the number inside the black-circle/cresent-moon. Sometimes the word "SAILORMOON" is missing 1/2 the "N"; sometimes the word is skimming the bottom of the card; sometimes the number circle is close to the edge of the card or slightly cut off. This is the best way to spot an average-quality stickercard: just LOOK at the word and number along the bottom. See the Mercury scan.
The cut of the stickercards is average/poor. Sometimes they have a line on the side (most of the time, it's the left side) that looks like there's another card underneath. But there isn't another card. The machine just didn't do a good job of cutting on the line, so the line shows up. See the Sailor Team scan.
AND sometimes there are obvious flaws on the card. Most often, there is a line running down the side (not like the cut-wrong line, but a line in the picture). See the Mercury scan.
The scans are a little dark and a little crooked (scanner fault) but basically, you can see what I mean.

Flaws: line on right side (located half-inch right of Ami's shoulder); and half the "N" is cut off.
Flaws: white line on left side = poor cut; and half the "N" is cut off too.
