Condition vs Grade

I'm new here and beginning to enter my collection into the database, lots of which are 1977-83 cards I collected as a kid. I hope to figure out how to learn to trade and fill in as many missing sets as I can. My question is this: as I input details of the card I have, is it better to input condition (EXMT, VG etc) or grade (1-10), or does it matter? I kind of prefer the 1-10 system, but from the pull-down menu it looks like those imply the card was professionally graded and I don't want to mislead potential traders interested in my cards.

As you mentioned, inputting a number grade would lend to the assumption that it was professionally graded.

Grade is for graded cards (PSA, Beckett, SGC, etc). Condition is for ungraded cards. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*
