  3. Pay within 48 hPay with Stripe. Unpaid holds expire and the cards go back in the binder.
  4. Ship or pick upTracked post or pickup in Melbourne. We email you when it's on the way.

Holds & payment

Do I pay when I request a hold?

No. Requesting a hold is free. You only pay after we accept, using the secure Stripe link we email you.

When are the cards reserved for me?

As soon as we accept your request. From then you have 48 hours to pay before the cards go back on sale.

Can I cancel a hold?

Yes, any time before you pay. Reply to our email or contact us with your request number.

How do I pay?

By card through Stripe's secure checkout. We never see or store your card number.

Condition & grading

Are the photos of the actual card?

Yes. Every listing uses flatbed scans of the exact card you'll receive.

What do Raw NM and Raw LP mean?

Raw cards aren't graded. NM (near mint) shows little to no wear. LP (lightly played) has minor edge or corner wear you can see on the scan.

Shipping & returns

Can I pick up instead of having it posted?

Yes. Choose pickup in your bag and we'll arrange a time in Melbourne by email after you pay.

What if my card arrives damaged or not as described?

Contact us within 7 days of delivery with photos and we'll put it right. See shipping & returns.
