How to check cards before you pay
Most card problems are visible if you ask the right questions. Do this before buying, while you can still walk away:
- Set code and card number. Ask for a sharp photo of the bottom of the card. Compare the number, set symbol and rarity mark with an official card list.
- Condition words. 全新 is new, 近全新 near mint, 白边 is edge whitening, 划痕 scratches, 压痕 dents, 弯 a bend.
- Graded slabs. Ask for the certification number and look it up on the grading company’s own website. The grade and card must match the listing.
- Sealed product. Ask for photos of all six sides of the shrink wrap and seals.
- Price sanity check. A price far below other listings for the same card is the clearest warning sign.
What our warehouse QC photos show
Real, unretouched QC photos from recent card orders, shot beside centimetre rulers. Each card arrived in a toploader.
In your own photos, check the card number and name, the corners, the holo surface for scratches, and the sleeve. A QC photo shows what arrived at the warehouse; it does not grade the card or prove it is genuine.
