Sell us your collection

Bulk, sealed, singles or a shoebox you inherited — send a list or a few photos and we will make an offer within one business day.

We will tell you plainly if something is worth more elsewhere. We would rather lose the deal than lowball a first-time seller.

No surprises

How we grade a single

The same four checks, every card, before it goes on the site.

1

Front, under light

Angled against a lamp to catch surface scratches and print lines that scans hide completely.

2

Edges and corners

Whitening on the back edges is the most common reason a card drops from Near Mint to Lightly Played.

3

Centering and back

Measured, not eyeballed. Anything badly off-centre is called out in the listing rather than left for you to find.

4

Graded down, never up

When a card sits between two grades it gets the lower one. That is the whole policy.

Before you ask

Questions we get a lot

Orders placed before 2:00 pm ET on a business day leave our unit within 1 business day. Standard delivery then takes 2 to 5 business days within the United States. Preorders are the exception — they ship on or after the release date printed on the product page.

Near Mint is pack-fresh or close to it. Lightly Played has minor edge wear or a light surface mark. Moderately Played has visible whitening or scratching. Heavily Played has significant wear but is still sleeve-playable. Damaged has creases, tears or water damage and is priced accordingly. The full breakdown with photographs is on our condition guide.

Every single ships in a penny sleeve, then a toploader or semi-rigid, then a team bag, then a rigid mailer. Orders over $150 go in a box with tracking and signature. Sealed product ships double-boxed with void fill so the outer box takes the damage instead of the product.

Send us a photo within 30 days of delivery and we cover return shipping and refund you in full. Grading is a judgement call and we get it wrong occasionally — when we do, it is our cost, not yours.

Yes. Japanese sealed and singles are listed with Language as a filter and a facet, not buried in the product title, so you can browse English-only or Japanese-only from any collection page.

Not yet — we are online-only for now. The address in the footer is our registered business address and mail is received there, but there is no shop counter to walk up to.
