The Plan:

This web site lists cards we are interested in purchasing, and the offered price. You pick out which cards you have and put them into your shopping "bag" and then check out as normal, instead, you send us the cards and we send you the money.

You can sell us cards for cash or store credit, the minimum sale we will accept is $25.00
Selling your cards for store credit allows you to purchase cards without the use of PayPal or a credit card.

How to check your cards... Make sure your cards are in mint condition! Make sure you are sending the right card! Cards that are damaged, dirty, played or bent will be returned.

Notice the damaged edges and the dirt on the back. I will return cards like this.

 

The Details:

1. Create and account or log into your account. Accounts keep the spiders away.
2. Gather up the cards you want to sell to us.
   1. They must be in mint condition. No scratches, tears, bends or dirt.
   2. They cannot be counterfeit.
   3. We are accepting commons and uncommons if we are out of that card, rares, holos ect if we are low on those cards.
3. Search through these pages and locate those cards.
   1. If you find the card listed, add it to your bag.
   2. We may only want so many of each card, you cannot sell us more than that limit.
4. Check out the "Hot" list.
   1. The hot list shows cards we need the most, listed by price from highest to lowest.
5. When you are done, view the contents of your bag.
   1. Review the contents and "checkout..."
   2. Tell us how you want paid, PayPal, check or credit.
   3. Print your packing slip, keep a copy for yourself.
6. Pack up the cards and mail them to us.
   1. Use a padded envelope to protect the cards.
   2. Wrap the cards up, do not leave them loose in the envelope. We wrap the cards in the packing list to help protect them.
   3. Include the Packing Slip!
   4. Double check the order for completeness before sending it!
   5. Use delivery confirmation or signature confirmation.
   6. Include your order number on the package.
   7. For an extra $1.50 (deducted from you payment) I will mail you an envelope and sleeves for the cards. This does not include postage.

Counterfeit Cards

Here is an excellent video on counterfeit cards.

Also, if you paid $1.00 for the booster pack at a flee market or dollar store - they're fake.
Another really quick way to spot fake cards is to look for spelling errors on the card.

How to Ship your Cards: (very important!)

Follow these instructions for safe transport!

• Use sleeves. Thin penny sleeves are best, and can be purchased at just about any comic book store. This prevents the cards from rubbing against each other.
• Wrap the cards as a single stack, or multiple stacks if thicker than 1/2 inch - in a sheet of paper. You can use the packing slip to wrap the cards, which is how we ship. This keeps the cards from getting loose in the envelope and getting bent.
• Don't send loose cards!
• Do not wrap your cards in rubber bands.

Terms and Conditions:

• Packages that are sent to us without prior approval through this process will be returned unopened.
• Cards that are sent to us that are not included on the packing list will be kept or discarded without compensation (thank you.)
• Cards that are not in acceptable condition based solely on our judgment will be returned at our expense, no compensation or credit will be given for those cards and the indicated amount will be deducted from the total compensation.

• When your package arrives, an email will be sent indicating the status of the order, which cards were accepted, which were missing, and the total payment that will be made.
• Payment can be made in the form of store credit, a check or money transfer to a PayPal account. You are responsible for any PayPal transaction fees.
