Authenticity
Every card is checked by us before shipping: print quality, edges, holo pattern, weight and feel. Graded cards come in the unopened original slab from PSA, CGC, Beckett or WATA. You can verify the cert number online with the grader.
Signed items ship with a certificate of authenticity (COA) and, where available, a photo or video of the signing.
Condition scale for singles

| MP | Moderately Played | Clearly visible wear: whitening, scratches, light edge creases. |
| HP | Heavily Played | Heavy wear, creases or scratches, but complete. |
| DMG | Damaged | Damaged: tears, water damage, heavy creases. |
The condition is listed in every product description. Higher-value cards also include detail photos of front and back.
