Inspecting a slabbed vintage card

Our standard

Nothing pressed, trimmed or flattered

Every card is described as we found it. Photographs are taken under the same lighting, without retouching, so the corners and surface you see are the ones that arrive. Condition notes are written by hand and travel with the card.

Questions

Before you

Anything else, write to [email protected] or read our refund & returns policy.

How do you describe condition?+

Each card is catalogued by eye with plain wording — Fair, Good, Very Good — and photographed as it is. We never assign third-party grades, certificate numbers or serial numbers.

Are the cards originals?+

Yes. Every listing is a period issue identified by year, brand and set. Where a detail cannot be confirmed we write "Not verified" rather than invent it.

Which currency am I charged in?+

All prices are set and charged in euro. At checkout you can view totals in US dollar, pound sterling or złoty as an indicative reference only.

How are orders shipped?+

Cards travel in rigid sleeves and a padded mailer, sent tracked from Berlin. Shipping is a flat €12 worldwide and a tracking number follows within 48 hours.

Can I return a card?+

You have 14 days to change your mind. Cards must come back as they left us, and refunds are issued in euro within 14 days of arrival.

Do I need an account?+

No. Verso Cards is guest checkout only — no sign-up, no profile, no stored password.
