📦 Returns & Exchanges: Our Promise to You
We stand behind the condition and quality of every item we curate. If your item arrives damaged, is incorrect, or doesn’t meet the described condition (Near Mint, Lightly Played, etc.), we’ll make it right. Our team of fellow collectors will work with you to resolve any issue efficiently.
1. The Basics: Eligibility
To be eligible for a return or exchange, your item must meet the following criteria:
- Time Window: You must initiate a return request within 15 days of receiving your shipment.
- Item Condition: The item must be in its original, unplayed, and unaltered condition, with all original packaging, sleeves, and accessories included. For Card Singles, this means the exact condition as shipped (e.g., the specified grading).
- Proof of Purchase: Your order number is required.
