Refund policy
1. Return Policy Overview
Due to the sensitive nature, condition grading, and market price volatility of collectible trading cards:
-
Sealed Products (Booster Boxes, Packs, Bundles): Eligible for return within [7 to 14] days of delivery, provided they remain 100% factory-sealed, untampered, and unopened in their original shrink wrap/packaging.
-
Single Cards (Raw/Ungraded & Graded Slabs): All single card sales are generally final. Returns are only accepted if the item you received does not match the product listing, card condition description, or photo provided.
-
Opened Packs/Boxes: Once sealed product wrap or packaging is broken, items cannot be returned or refunded under any circumstances.
