I appreciate your business!


Condition
Unless noted otherwise, all cards that I list should be considered Near Mint or better. I feel that many are Mint but some may have small defects from manufacturing. I list in the description any defects that stand out. I cannot, however, make an assessment as to whether a particular card will grade as a PSA 10, BGS 9.5, pristine, etc.

The pictures in this listing are of the actual card being sold, and not stock photos. (When there is more than one of the same card being sold for a particular listing, there will generally be a picture of only one of the cards, but this picture represents the condition of all the same cards being sold in that listing.) Please review these pictures for any questions about grade or quality. Rest assured that the pictures represent the condition that the card will be in when you receive it.

I take great care when handling every card regardless of its value. Since penny sleeves and top loaders can have scratches which make it more difficult to tell the true condition of a card, they are generally photographed unsleeved so a potential buyer can get a better idea of the condition. If a picture shows a card in a penny sleeve, this is because a high resolution scanner was used, and the penny sleeve is used to protect the card during the scanning process. Any minor scratches seen in a picture of a card with a penny sleeve are likely on the penny sleeve and not the card. Please let me know if you would like additional pictures with the penny sleeve removed.

Chromium-type cards (i.e.: Topps Chrome, Prizm, Optic, Mosaic, etc.) might have light surface scratches or lines, which is common with this type of card. If there are any deep scratches or lines, this will be noted in the description.

Each card is shipped in its own penny sleeve, as well as either a top loader or semi-rigid card holder. When multiple cards are shipped together, an oversized top loader may be used to hold more than one card, although each card will have its own penny sleeve. One exception: Sets of multiple common cards may be placed directly in team bags.

Graded card cases (slabs from PSA, SGC, BGS, CSG, EMC, GMA, HGA, PGA, KSA, FCG, GMG, MGS, etc.) may occasionally have chips, scratches, or scuffs, which will be visible in the pictures when this occurs.


Shipping
Items $20 or less: eBay standard envelope
Items greater than $20: USPS Ground Advantage

Regardless of sale price, graded and relic cards (patch, etc.) will generally be shipped USPS Ground Advantage, since they end up being too thick for eBay standard envelope and the edges of thick cards need greater care. The same is true for boxes, packs, and lots with five or more cards.

For auctions, the shipping method is generally set to USPS Ground Advantage, since the final sale price may be greater than $20. If the final sale price ends up being $20 or less, please reach out to me prior to paying to change to eBay standard envelope, and I will send you an invoice reflecting the lower shipping cost.

If you purchase multiple items that can ship in the same package, I'm happy to combine shipping to reduce the shipping cost. Note that there are limits to size and value of cards shipped using eBay standard envelope.

If you prefer another shipping method (e.g.: USPS Priority Mail), please reach out to me prior to paying. I will change the shipping method to your preference and send you an invoice reflecting the higher shipping cost.

When sellers increase the shipping cost of a card in order to lower the sale price, this results in reducing the value of the card, since comps typically reflect only the sale price. I do my best to list cards at a competitive price and choose to not make a profit on shipping.

For items shipped outside of the United States, eBay's Global Shipping Program is used. Note that I cannot combine shipping when the Global Shipping Program is used, since eBay controls this.


Returns
I do my absolute best to ensure accuracy in my listings, so returns are only accepted if the item received is not as described in the listing.


Feedback
I will leave feedback for you at the time of shipment. I would appreciate feedback once you receive your shipment. Thanks!


Please take a look at my other listings, as this may help with reducing shipping costs for you.
