Frequently Asked Questions
How long does shipping take?
Most orders ship within 1–3 business days. Delivery typically takes 3–7 business days via USPS First Class or Priority Mail depending on your location.
Do you offer combined shipping?
Yes — if you purchase multiple cards, contact us and we'll work out combined shipping to save you money.
How are cards shipped?
All cards are carefully packaged to prevent damage in transit. Graded slabs are bubble-wrapped and box-shipped. Raw singles are sleeved, top-loaded, and team-bagged before shipping. We ship via USPS with tracking on all orders.
Are your cards authentic?
Yes. All graded cards come with their original third-party grading company certification. Raw singles are sourced from trusted collections and verified for authenticity before listing.
How do you determine the condition of raw cards?
We grade raw cards using standard industry terminology: Gem Mint (GM), Mint (M), Near Mint-Mint (NM-MT), Near Mint (NM), Excellent-Mint (EX-MT), Excellent (EX), Very Good (VG), Good (G), Fair (F), and Poor (P). Condition notes and photos are included in each listing.
What does "raw" mean?
A raw card has not been professionally graded. It is sold in its natural, ungraded condition. We describe the condition of all raw singles in the product listing (e.g., Near Mint, Excellent, Very Good).
What is a graded card (slab)?
A graded card has been professionally authenticated and assigned a condition grade by a third-party grading company such as PSA, BGS (Beckett), or SGC. The card is sealed in a tamper-evident plastic case (called a "slab") with its grade displayed. Grades typically range from 1 (Poor) to 10 (Gem Mint).
What types of sports cards do you sell?
We specialize in graded slabs and raw singles across all major sports — baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and more — spanning multiple decades from vintage to modern. Our inventory includes rookie cards, hall of famers, and hard-to-find singles.
Are the grades on graded cards guaranteed?
The grades reflect the grading company's assessment at time of grading. I never alter, tamper with, or re-case any slabs.
Do you accept returns on graded cards?
Graded cards are final sale. Grades are assigned by independent third-party companies.
