When listing an item, it is required to select an “Item condition” corresponding to its state and to upload pictures of the item.
Please check the item in your possession and select the condition level that is closest to its actual state.
Additionally, if the selected condition level does not match the actual condition of the item, we will confirm with the buyer at the time of authentication whether or not the transaction can continue.
*Please note that if the transaction is cancelled, we may return the item by cash on delivery.
At the time of inspecting the item, we will confirm whether the item condition meets our guideline standards.
The guideline standards are given priority over the content of the supplementary explanations and comments.
*If, aside from the condition of the item itself, content that is likely to mislead the buyer or differs significantly from the listing information is included, the transaction may be canceled
*Deleted comments are also included in the above because there is a possibility that the buyer has already viewed them
The condition list is only an example. Condition level standards may vary depending on the item.
Product images on SNKRDUNK may appear different from actual color tone due to the photoshooting environment.
Please select the most appropriate Condition Level after checking the condition of the item in detail.
If an item falls under multiple Condition Levels, please list it under the lowest applicable level.
*Please note that authentication and inspection criteria differ for items authenticated by PSA or other third-party grading companies and unopened cards (items sealed in packs).
Items that can be listed in the "A" category are limited to items that do not present large and noticeable damage and have been stored in pristine condition overall.

Only for “Magic: The Gathering” single cards, items in conditions outside of our guideline standards may be listed as condition “D” in some cases.
If a single card shows issues such as being inked, heavy creasing, traces of water damage and other conditions that are listed under the “Conditions outside of our guideline standards” section, it cannot be normally listed for sale, even as a condition “D” item.
However, in the case of “Magic: The Gathering” single cards only, items that are in a condition which would be deemed to be outside of our guideline standards scope may be listed if all of the following conditions are met:
The lowest condition rank (“D”) is selected;
The condition outside our guideline standards is clearly explained in the supplementary information and clearly shown in the listing pictures;
The card can still be used without issue for gameplay purposes.
For PSA, BGS, and ARS authenticated items: Select the applicable condition based on the evaluation grade assigned by each grading agency.
*When listing a set of multiple cards, please select the lowest among their individual grades.
*About "Qualifier" grading for PSA items, we authenticate based on PSA's official "Additional Terms & Info".
For items authenticated by other grading companies: When selecting the item condition, please select the "他鑑定品" (Other Graded) option.
For items graded by PSA, BGS, and ARS, our authentication and inspection will be conducted with the item as is, still inside the card holder.
We do not typically perform detailed condition checks on the card itself contained within the holder, as it is considered to conform to the evaluation of each grading company.
*If the condition of the holder does not meet our standards, or if the card itself is a counterfeit, the transaction will be canceled.
In addition, if the item falls under any of the following conditions, the transaction may be canceled after confirming with the buyer:
If the card itself is sun-faded
If a label issuance error is present *Label issuance: a condition where the description on the PSA label differs from the card inside the holder
*Please note that even if there is a mention of the above conditions in the supplementary information, we will still confirm with the buyer whether they want to continue the transaction.
If the item is inside a clear slab sleeve, it will be opened at the time of authentication and the sleeve will be discarded by SNKRDUNK.
When listing items authenticated by grading companies other than PSA, BGS, or ARS, please select "他鑑定品" (Other Graded) in the item condition section.
Please note that if the condition of the card itself (inside the holder) is deemed to be outside our guideline standards, the transaction will be canceled.
We appreciate your understanding in advance.

Some promotional cards that are distributed inside packs can be listed by sellers as used items even if the original packaging has not been opened.
*For promotional cards that have separate listing pages for “unopened” and “opened” items, please list the item from the listing page that corresponds to the condition of the item in your possession.
Minor damage to unopened packs that may occur during manufacturing or distribution is considered to be within the range of manufacturing defects.
Rest assured that we will carefully authenticate such items focusing on the following points:
・If there is any evidence of the packaging having been opened;
・If the packaging is damaged;
・Whether the packaging is counterfeit or not;
・Whether the card itself (inside the packaging) is counterfeit or not.
