Trading Card Guidelines
The international version of SNKRDUNK does not have the ability to list trading cards. Please see this page for reference when you purchasing.
Listings on SNKRDUNK are categorized in two main categories: "Brand-new" and "Used".
In addition, the guideline standards for items quality vary depending on the listing method and item categories. Please list your items in the item categories according to the quality of your items.
In addition, please follow the rules listed below to list your items for sale.
Trading card boxes and packs can be listed on SNKRDUNK only as “Brand-new” items. *Excluding some promo packs
The condition of the item must meet all of the following criteria. If any of the following are not applicable, the item cannot be listed.
Brand-new, unused, and unopened
The product itself and its accessories are not stained or damaged
All accessories are included
*Bags for storing accessories are not included in what is considered a required accessory
All single trading card can be listed as “Used” items.
All items can be listed in any condition, from mint-condition items (condition the item is after being opened) to items with major damage.
Please take and upload pictures of each individual item you list.
At the time of inspection, our team will confirm that the item received matches the item pictured in the listing.
*Please check the listing rules for further details when entering the "商品の状態"(Item’s Condition).
Please select the correct listing information such as item(s), size (quantity), and condition.
Also, comments on used listings are considered part of the listing information and will be taken into account when inspecting the item, because they are part of the information that will be used as reference by buyers when considering the purchase of a used item.
*Deleted comments, as well as undeleted comments, may have already been viewed by the buyer and will be taken into consideration during the authentication and inspection process.
Incorrect listing information may result in cancellation of the transaction and a cancellation fee (10% of the price) may be charged.
Please also refer to the following page for details on the rules and information for all items to be listed for sale.
【Shipping after the start of a transaction】
Trading card items may not be shipped together with items classified in other categories.
Please make sure to arrange the shipment of trading card items only after a transaction has started.
In addition, when you ship trading card items for multiple transactions together, please be sure to separate the items for each transaction and include a sticky note or similar item that shows each item’s transaction ID.
Inadequate packing methods may cause transaction cancellation due to the nature of the product and transaction.
*When you use "Combined Shipping", please select only trading card items.
👉Guidelines for Packing and Shipping (For JP sellers)

Minor staining, loose shrink-wrap, and other conditions that can occur at the time of manufacturing are often found in items handled by authorized dealers and for this reason are considered within the SNKRDUNK quality standards.
Please note that due to the intrinsic nature of these items, we cannot confirm the condition of trading card items prior to listing. Please understand this in advance.
If an item shows damage that is extensive enough to detract from the design of the item itself, there is the possibility that such condition may be considered to be outside our standards and therefore cannot be listed.

Quality Guidelines for Used Trading Cards
If the item is contained inside a card holder that certifies it has been authenticated by a third-party authentication company, such as PSA, we will inspect and authenticate the item as is, still inside the card holder it came into.
Please be assured that we will carefully authenticate the following details even in its original condition (i.e. inside the card holder)
If the card holder presents signs of opening;
If the card holder is damaged;
If the card holder is a counterfeit.
If the card itself (inside the card holder) is a counterfeit.
*The condition of the card itself (inside the holder) will not be checked regarding whether it conforms to the grade assigned by the third-party authentication company
*About “Qualifier” grading, we authenticate based on PSA’s official “Additional Terms & Info”
*If the card arrives inside a clear plastic bag, the plastic bag will be opened at the time of authentication and, depending on its condition, SNKRDUNK will provide a replacement
