Authenticity & card condition
How we grade card condition and how we guarantee their originality.
Originality first
We sell only original collectible cards and official sealed products. We physically check every item before putting it up for sale. If we have any doubt about authenticity, we won't add the card to our range.
Condition grading (single cards)
We grade the condition of individual cards on the established collector scale:
- Mint / Near Mint, practically no signs of wear.
- Excellent, minimal signs of handling.
- Good / Light Played, more visible but normal wear.
- Played / Poor, more pronounced wear.
We state the condition in the detail of every product. For most cards we also include real photos of the specific item, so you know exactly what you'll get.
Graded cards
We sell graded cards in the original, intact cases (slabs) of reputable grading companies, mainly PSA, BGS, CGC and SGC. For these cards we respect the grade assigned by that company and state it in the product detail.
Sealed products
For sealed products (boosters, booster boxes, ETBs, bundles and the like) we check that the original factory packaging is intact and, to protect their collector value, we do not unpack them. For random-content goods you have no right to withdraw from the contract even if the packaging is unopened, but you can make a complaint about defects (more on the Withdrawal from the contract page). Foil and cellophane are protective packaging, not part of the goods; minor imperfections in them are not a defect.
