Check the corner

A "1st Edition" stamp sits to the lower left of the art on the earliest print runs, and Shadowless cards lack the drop shadow on the right side of the art box. Both mean more value.

Yes — vintage booster boxes and packs.

Can I sell by mail?

Who pays for shipping?

We do. The label is prepaid, and high-value insurance covers your items in transit.

What if my package is lost or damaged?

It's insured for its value, and we handle the claim — not you.
