  • Accepting urgency
  • Stock photos instead of the real card
  • Untracked shipping to save postage
  • Valuing graded cards like raw ones

Accepting urgency

Time pressure exists to stop you checking. A genuine trader will wait a day.

Stock photos instead of the real card

Always require photos of the actual card, ideally with an identifying object in frame.

Untracked shipping to save postage

The saving is trivial against the loss, and it removes any way to prove delivery.

Valuing graded cards like raw ones

Grade and population change value dramatically; agree both before the trade.
