What we actually promise.

Every figure on this page is counted out of our own sales when you load it. Nothing here is a rounded number somebody typed in once. Where we have no policy, this page says we have no policy rather than borrowing a reassuring one.

Who holds the money, and who holds the card

This is the question every marketplace answers vaguely, so here it is flatly. There are two kinds of card on this site and the arrangement is genuinely different for each. The page you buy from tells you which one you are looking at, and so does your order.

Our own stock

We own it, so we take the money

  • The slab is already in our hands or on its way to them. We photographed it; the photo is the card you get.
  • You pay us, by PayNow, into our own business account. Your order shows the QR and the reference.
  • We pack it and post it, or you collect it from a meetup.
  • If it does not arrive or arrives damaged, tell us and we will replace it, refund it or chase the post office. That is what we do; it is not an insurance policy and this page will not dress it up as one.
A member's card

We introduce you. We never touch your money

  • The card belongs to another collector. We do not hold it and we do not hold your payment — not in escrow, not briefly, not at all.
  • Taking your money to pass on to a seller is domestic money transfer under the Payment Services Act 2019, and PayNow into our account would be the worst version of that rather than a way around it. So a member order shows you the reservation and puts you in touch with the seller, and no QR appears on it.
  • Our fulfilment model for these is direct: the seller ships to you.
  • You can pay us to check the card first — see below. That is a service on the card, not custody of your money.

Our supply record, including the misses

A shop that sources cards will sometimes sell one it then cannot put in the box. When that happens here the card goes onto a missing list, and every entry and exit is written to an append-only log in the same database transaction as the flag itself — so it cannot quietly leave. These are the numbers in that log, right now, for cards buyers have paid us for:

Being precise about what that counts: it is our own channel's sales, not resales by affiliate channels, and it measures whether we could supply the card — not how fast. We do not publish a delivery-time figure, for the reason in the limits below.

Where the sold prices come from

The price guide is built from 646 of our own settled sales, covering 112 cards between 2026-07 → 2026-09. Nothing on it is scraped, converted from an overseas site, or taken from an asking price. Every figure is money that actually changed hands here.

A card is only published once it has sold at least 3 times, and cards whose collector number covers several different prints are withheld entirely — averaging those would produce a confident, wrong number. We show no star ratings and no reviews anywhere on this site, because we have none to show.

The terms an order actually runs on

Read out of the code that enforces them, not out of a policy document that may have stopped matching it.

Selling here, and what a seller badge means

Every member listing is reviewed by a person before it goes live, because a listing gets a permanent page that Google indexes. A member may list between S$20 and S$20,000; above that we would rather have a conversation.

Sellers carry a fulfilment rate computed the same way this page computes ours — completed sales against sales the seller ended, with anything still in flight excluded and any cancellation we cannot attribute dropped from both sides rather than guessed at. Below 3 completed sales a seller shows New seller instead of a percentage, because a small denominator lies loudly.

No member card has sold here yet, so no seller carries a rate today. We would rather say that than show you a badge with nothing behind it.

What we do not claim

Other marketplaces publish these. We do not have them, so this page will not imply we do.

Check any of it

Every graded card we sell is in a sealed grading company slab, PSA for the overwhelming majority, and you can put the cert number into PSA's own lookup before you pay a cent. The sold prices are all on the price guide. The rest of how this works is on the about page.
