Buying & trading

Inspect cards and confirm identity

Match declared collection items to exact shop SKUs and assess merchant condition before quoting.

On this page

Before you begin

Select a collection, then open one of its inspection lines.

Access

Staff with buying access; approvals and payouts depend on role. Company feature access and current setup requirements apply.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Review the declared item

    Compare the physical card with the customer’s description and quantity. Do not assume an online submitted name establishes a printing.

  2. 2

    Select the exact SKU

    Check game, set, collector number, language, finish and condition. Use the supported catalog search and keep uncertain matches unresolved.

  3. 3

    Record physical condition

    Inspect corners, edges and surface under good light. Enter the shop’s condition and useful inspection notes; photo grading is a separate estimate tool.

  4. 4

    Set both offer amounts

    Review the supported cash and credit offers and save the inspected line. Confirm the updated line status before moving to the next item.

Keep in mind

Merchandise condition such as NM or LP is distinct from an official slab grade. Do not invent a grader certification for an ungraded card.

Inspection is a recorded review, not payment or physical receipt into owned stock.

If something goes wrong

The item cannot be matched

Check variant details and use the catalog preparation flow if appropriate. Leave the line unresolved until the identity is reviewed.
