Lightly Played condition foils may have slight fading or indications of wear on the card face.  LP cards will typically be purchased for 10-15% less than NM.

Moderately Played (MP)
Moderately Played condition cards have moderate wear, or flaws apparent to the naked eye. Moderately Played condition cards can show moderate border wear, mild corner wear, water damage, scratches , creases or fading, light dirt buildup, or any combination of these defects.  MP cards will typically be purchased for 20-25% less than NM.
