Selling Cards

How can I ship my cards to you safely?

Make sure you include your name and order number. Sort the singles in the EXACT order that they appear on your invoice when you were approved and emailed. All sleeves, binders or other packaging needs to be removed from the individual cards and placed in a hard-shell plastic case, fatpack box or similar container meant to hold cards.

In transit make sure that they will not shift or slide on their way to us. We always suggest purchasing insurance and a tracking number for your shipment.

Please note that West Coast Sports Cards cannot be held responsible for damage or loss on shipments sent to us.

Do you contact me letting me know the grade of the cards I sold to you?

In order to get payment out to you as soon as possible we do not usually contact you letting you know the grade. If you would like to be contacted before we finalize the order and send any payment; please let us know in the comments and you can review the grades and request cards back. Once the grading is finalized and payment is sent and due to the live inventory we cannot reverse any part of the sale.

How do I know if you received my package?

When we receive a package, you will be notified by email with a message stating “received”. It is now in our queue and is being verified. Typically grading turnaround is 1-3 days, but depending on the number of orders we get in on a daily basis and the size of your order it could be as long as 5 business days.

My order is complete. When will I be paid?

Depending on the payment option you chose will depend on the turnaround for payments.

We are willing to look at anything that you have questions about, please contact us at Michael@wcscdist.com and we will be able to get back to you as soon as possible. Keep in mind due to Wizards of the Coast trade agreements we can not purchase any sealed products until they have been out of print for 2 years.

Do you negotiate on pricing or grading?

Unfortunately, we’re not able to negotiate on grades or pricing.

Does store credit expire or are there any restriction on using store credit?

Cards FAQ

What do your grading definitions mean?

Near Mint (NM) : Near Mint cards have little to no damage. Some minor corner whitening or edging may be allowed if only visible under very close inspection.

Slight Play (SP): Slight Play cards will show minor wear from being played and shuffled. They could have flecks on the border, light scratches or small indents.

Moderate Play (MP): Moderate Played cards show wear from being shuffled and played. Can include whitening around most of the edges, shuffle creasing, large indents and small bends. Moderate Play cards should still be legal in tournament play in a sleeve.

Heavy Play (HP): Heavy Played cards show extensive damage and wear. Can include heavy surface scratching, large creases and dirt built up. Some Heavy Play cards may not be tournament legal.

Are the cards you list on the website in stock?

Our system is a “live” inventory so if you see it on the website we should have it in stock! Keep in mind that although it doesn’t happen often, an inventory mistake may occur from time to time resulting in something being for sale that is actually out of stock. If this occurs, we will make sure to contact you with a possible solution and/or more information.

How does the Wish List work?

You can add cards that we currently have out of stock and be notified when we get them back in stock. Be aware that anyone who has also put that card on their wish list will be notified and that it is a first come first serve basis.
