How it works
- 1
Make your purchase
Eligible items will have the Authenticity Guarantee checkmark in the listing and will automatically go through the authentication process once purchased. - 2
It’s authenticated
The seller ships your card to the authentication facility, where ungraded cards are inspected by CGC Cards™, and graded cards have their case and label authenticated by a PSA authenticator. No regrading is performed. - 3
Shipped with care
Once authenticated, your item is shipped to you safely and discreetly, with signature confirmation required.
Card returns
Before purchasing, check the seller’s return policy. If the seller doesn’t accept returns, the sale is considered final. If the seller has a timeframe for returns, you must open the return within that timeframe. In the unlikely event that your card is damaged in transit, you can open a return request on a final sale card so long as you do so within three days of receiving the card. Please note that items shipping internationally to the U.S. are ineligible for returns.
