How do I condition grade my cards?

Single cards will be verified and graded for condition once they arrive at the store. You can check out our card grading guide for more information on how your cards will be graded. If a card's condition does not match the buylist submission, or the card itself doesn't match the submission, the payout amount will be adjusted accordingly. Please examine your cards carefully and understand the value differences should you misjudge the condition. Conditions can be upgraded or downgraded from the customer's buylist, resulting in an increase or decrease in payout. If your buylist is adjusted, you will receive an email noting the changes.

Buylist Condition Values:

- Lightly Played (LP): 90% of Near Mint buy price

- Heavily Played (HP): 30% of Near Mint buy price

Once your cards are graded and you are paid out, you cannot make any changes to your buylist.

What are the payment options?

What cards count as bulk?

We accept near mint, English cards ONLY in bulk submissions. World Championship cards, counterfeit cards, jumbo cards, and foreign language cards will not be accepted for your bulk submissions. Bulk containing any of these may be rejected and adjusted accordingly. 

Basic Energy cards do not count as Common/Uncommon bulk and must be counted separately as bulk Basic Energy.

I submitted my buylist. Where do I ship it to?

All buylists are to be shipped to the following address:

Full Grip Games

Your Order #

121 E Market St

Akron, OH 44308

Make sure to include your full name and order number on your package. We also encourage that you include a copy of your buylist invoice, including name and order number, with the contents of your package. We cannot pay you out for your buylist if we don’t know who you are!

I have a large amount of bulk to send in. Can I send it in multiple packages?

For large orders, you can send in your buylist in multiple boxes if needed. Please include your full name and order number on each package you submit. If you are sending multiple boxes for one buylist order, please include a note in each package that numbers which package it is and how many total packages there are. (e.g., "Box 1 of 3").

Do I have to pay for shipping?

You are responsible for covering shipping costs for sending your buylist to us. If you take store credit or cash and purchase items off of our website, you will be responsible for any shipping costs. You can view free shipping order thresholds here.

I am local or visiting near your store. Can I drop off my buylist submission?

Absolutely! Stop in any time during business hours and give your buylist to an employee. Please make sure to have your information included in or on the package like you would if you were shipping the buylist. Dropped off buylists are still subject to our normal processing times.

I shipped my buylist, but I got an email saying that my order was canceled. What happened?

Our system will automatically cancel any buylist that is not marked as received within 14 days of placing the order. Please make sure to promptly send out your buylist submissions to avoid this.

The buy prices of single cards may change during this time and will be changed to reflect the new prices when we receive your package. If it is postmarked before the shipping threshold but arrives after 14 days, we will still honor the prices for when you submitted your buylist. Full Grip Games reserves the right to cancel any order not received within this time frame.

Packaging and Mailing Tips

Shipping Bulk Safely:

• While customers may use any service they prefer, Full Grip Games recommends using Flat Rate Priority Mail boxes and USPS for the easiest and most affordable shipping. When shipping bulk orders, make sure not to overfill the box you send it in. Ensure your packages are taped up on all sides and secure as postal service and shipping companies are rough and can damage your packages in transit.

• We recommend filling in any empty space in your package with some kind of packing material (bubble wrap, newspaper, old plastic bags, etc). Loose packaging leads to cards getting damaged in transit. A good rule of thumb for packaging bulk is that the less room there is for the cards to move around, the less likely it is to get damaged. Packages should be well secured and taped up on all sides. This is a heavy box that will be moving around for days.

• Do not wrap your cards with rubber bands or put tape on your cards, this will cause damage. In order to secure a lot of cards, wrap them in paper, or into plastic/sandwich/etc bags. Damaged bulk may be rejected at our discretion, or your cards will be graded based on the condition they are in when they arrive. 

• If you are shipping different types of bulk such as Rares, Reverse Holos, and Common/Uncommon bulk, please keep the different types separated. If your bulk is mixed together, it will all be paid out at the Common/Uncommon rate. Keeping the types clearly separated makes it easier for us to verify the cards submitted on your buylist and move your buylist through our system. 

No one wants their cards to end up like this. Take care when assembling your package!
