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:
- 2,183 cards paid for.
- 2,106 supplied without
ever going onto the missing list —
96.5%.
- 48 went missing and were
re-sourced or found.
- 29 are still owed today
(1.3%). If one of them is yours, it is on the
list, and it is on this page.
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.
- Cards held for
24 hours from placing the order, unpaid.
- If you upload proof of payment
The hold extends to 48 hours while we
look at it. Your cards are never released out from under a transfer we
are still checking.
- Uploading proof does not mark you paid
It files evidence and tells us. A human confirms the money.
- Cards per order
Up to 20.
- Postage on our own stock
S$3.50 flat
per parcel, however many cards are in it. Or collect in
person, free.
- Commission on a member's sale
0% — we take no cut of what a member
sells for.
- Postage on a member's card
S$3.50, stepping up to
S$10 for registered post above
S$500.
- Optional authentication
S$10 per 5 cards, or
1% of the order, whichever is greater. The card
comes to us, we check the slab and the cert, and the whole order
leaves as one parcel.
The box is never pre-ticked.
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.
- No escrow. For a member's card we hold neither the
money nor the goods. Read the second panel above again if that
matters to you — it should.
- No dispute window. We have no published number of
days in which to raise a problem, so we are not going to invent one.
Tell us as soon as you can and we will deal with it.
- No delivery-time promise. Cards are sourced from
overseas and the leg is genuinely long and variable. We record when a
card is dispatched, but not well enough to publish an average we would
be prepared to be held to.
- No guaranteed refund or return policy. What we
actually do is replace, refund or chase, case by case. That is a
practice with a good record behind it, not a right you are being
granted here.
- No reviews and no ratings. We have never collected
any. The numbers above are what we have instead.
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.
