Sell to CK / Instructions

These are the instructions for selling singular cards. If you are looking to sell bulk cards, sealed products or collections, please check our other selling sections on this page for more information.

• To begin your order, sign into your account and go to the “Sell Cards” option in the banner at the top of the page, and then click the MTG Singles/Foils tab.
• To add cards to your sell order, select an edition from the dropdown menu and locate your card, or enter a keyword (such as a card name, or a card type such as “token”) to search the buy list.
• Click the “Qty to Sell” button to the right of the card you would like to sell, and then click the number of how many of the card you would like to add to your sell order.
• Repeat until you have created your sell order with all cards you intend to sell listed. Before going to checkout and finalizing your order, please double check what you have listed in the order. If there are any cards that have been listed that are not in the correct set or not the correct amount, please go back and modify the order to reflect what is going to be included in your order. *If there are a significant number of cards that are listed incorrectly on your order, your order may be canceled and returned to you so you can recreate it with the correct listings*
• Once you have checked your order and verified that all cards listed are correct, click “Checkout” and complete the checkout process as directed. If you would like to be contacted before we finalize your order to see what grades and what total you will be receiving, please leave a comment in the Customer Comment section of your order when it is prompted.
• Note - when you are finished making your sell order, you will see a total at the bottom of the invoice showing the added total of the cards on your order. The total you see is a combination of all your listed cards if they are graded at NM. If the cards are not graded at NM, you will see the initial total go down when your order is received and finalized.

This section is regarding packaging singles, collections and product orders. Bulk orders are packaged slightly differently and are notated in the Selling Bulk section.

• Always be sure to include your name and order number in the package. If you finish packing the order and realize you forgot to leave the order number within the package, write the order number on the outside of the package for our grading team to see.
• Sort singles in the exact order that they appear on the invoice, with the first title on your invoice being the card at the front of your order. If cards are shipped to us out of order, your order will be placed in a different area to be organized before grading and will take longer than expected for you to receive your payment, or they may be canceled and returned to you to be sent back in as a new order.
• Remove cards from any sleeves, binders, or any kind of packaging. We understand wanting to sleeve cards to protect them, but sleeving cards slows down the grading process. If you have cards with sleeves, your order can potentially be canceled and returned to you to be fixed before grading. If you have high end cards that you want to provide extra protections for, you may place the card between two sleeves. With this method you get the benefit and safety of sleeves, but there is no delay with handling.
• Cards should be secured in a hard-shell case, deck box, fat pack or other solid container or box. Avoid using rubber bands, tape, paper clips, or any other containers that may damage your cards.
• Ensure that the cards are packed securely and will not shift or fall out during transit, and try to have as little open space in the package as possible. Packing peanuts, packing paper, newspapers, and bubble wrap are great packing materials that are suggested by many shipping companies.
• When packaging and securing your cards, do not use excessive tape or other materials that will put your cards at risk by making the package difficult to open.
• We encourage you to use shipping that comes with tracking information and insurance for your shipment to protect you. We are unable to pay you for cards we do not receive, so unfortunately if you order is lost in the mail we cannot complete the sell order. Having tracking information and insurance will ensure that you will be taken care of, no matter what happens.
• Orders must be shipped out and postmarked within 7 days of creating the order. When you’re ready, send your order to:

  Card Kingdom
  Attn: Grading (Your Order Number)
  5105 Leary Ave NW
  Seattle WA 98107

This section will explain the grading process, the approximate timeline of a sell order, and how your payment will be totaled and distributed to you.

• Once your order is received by our team, we will verify its contents and update the status of your order within 48 hours. You may see a notification from your shipping company before you see a modification to your sell order. We go through multiple pallets of mail each day, so once the pallet with your package is delivered to us, it may be a few hours before we are able to open the package and extract your order to mark it as received.
• Your cards will make their way to a grader after being received, and your order will be graded and finalized in one to five business days, depending on how many orders we have at the time.
• Once your order is graded and finalized, your payment will be issued. Paypal and Store Credit payments are issued within 24 hours of the order being finalized. Check payments will be run through our bank in Arizona, and they will be cut the next business day and shipped to you shortly after that. Check delivery generally takes 3-5 business days, depending on where you live in proximity to Arizona, but can take up to 2 weeks.
• Card Kingdom is unable to pay for cards not received by our Grading Department, even if they appear on the invoice. If a card is not included in your sell order shipment for any reason, we cannot offer cash or store credit for the card. Please make sure that your invoice correctly reflects what is in your sell order.

Payments for cards are done by a percentage system based on the NM buy price for a card. You will see the NM buy price for a card listed when you are adding cards onto your sell order. Depending on the price of the card and what edition the card is from, we will pay a certain percentage of the base NM buy price for the card. The percentage break-down is listed below:

For example, if you had an Amonkhet card that had a base buy price with us of $25, but it was graded down to EX, we would pay $21.25 for the card, or 85%. If you had an Alpha card with a base buy price of $25 and it was graded down to EX, you would receive $20 for the card, or 80%.

Note - when you are finished making your sell order, you will see a total at the bottom of the invoice showing the added total of the cards on your order. The total you see is a combination of all your listed cards if they are graded at NM. If the cards are not graded at NM, you will see the initial total go down when your order is finalized. If cards are graded as BG, or Below Good, they will be returned to you and their price will be removed from your total.

If you are looking to sell an entire collection with us, or if you have Magic collectibles, high value foil or high value non-English cards, please contact our Purchasing Department at buyer@cardkingdom.com. For more information regarding collections and high value cards, please see our Sell Your Collection page.

If you are looking to sell sealed Magic products with us, please note that due to Wizards of the Coast policy, we cannot purchase sealed product until 2 years after its release date. We also do not purchase singular booster packs at this time.

• Go to the MTG Sealed/Sets tab at the top of the page.
• Select an Edition from the dropdown menu or enter a Product Type to search the buy list.
• Enter the quantity of each item you would like to sell, and then click the “Add to Cart” button. Repeat this step until you have completed your sell order.
• Once you have added all your items, click “Checkout” on the Shopping Cart. Complete the checkout process as directed. If you would like to be contacted before we finalize your order to see what grades and what total you will be receiving, please leave a comment in the Customer Comment section of your order when it is prompted.

We operate our grading by using our own grading guides, rather than grading guides from other sites. The grades also reflect the card in its entirety, rather than some singular aspects, so grades may fluctuate. Due to this system, you have upper and lower ends of each tier, such as a high-end EX or a low-end NM. Cards are judged upon a case by case basis but will always use this grading system as their core.
